The windmill and adjoining cottage at Rays Hill, Braziers End, Chorlesbury
(Picture: Savills)In Mark Gertler’s 1916 painting “Gilbert Cannan and his Mill”, the writer and dramatic critic Cannan stands in front of his home — a converted windmill surrounded by a white fence — with his two dogs.
Today, more than 90 years later, the painting is on display at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford — and the Grade-II listed windmill is on sale for £1.65 million.
