Grayson Perry House back
Near Wrabness and overlooking the Stour estuary in the north of the county, A House for Essex’s unconventional form is, according to Chelmsford-born Perry, inspired by follies, eccentric homes, shrines and fairy tales. More precisely, though, it's inspired by a woman called Julie. Born in Canvey Island in 1953, she married refinery worker Dave in her youth and had two children by him before an affair ended their marriage. She subsequently wed Rob, who commissioned this ornate house in her memory after she was knocked down and killed by a curry delivery driver in Colchester.
