Darley and Provis both made fortunes out of the legal wrangling about Draycot House, in the Chancery cases between the last two Earls of Mornington. I could extract their court affidavits if you would like them, as they provide some biographical detail. I can’t remember now which one (Provis I think), but one made enough to send a son to art school and he ended up very comfortable indeed. I live in hope that his interior of a Mill painting will be the medieval mill at Draycot.
