About Hay Wain
One of the coolest things about looking at a Constable painting is that you can take a ride out to his family's old country estate and track down some of the spots that gave him inspiration, as is the case with The Hay Wain. This IRL locale was a cottage on a stream that his father rented out to a farmer by the name of Willy Lott. In 2015, developers started the process to build 144 residential units and homes in the surrounding area. If it happens, the construction alone will permanently alter the face of the landscape. Undoubtedly leading to the destruction of the natural splendor that served as inspiration across Constable's oeuvre. Area residents and concerned citizens are putting up a fight, but only time will tell whether they can pull off the big win and kick the developers out of Constable's home turf.
