The name Audrey Amiss will be unknown to most of us. This is because until filmmaker Carol Morley, director of acclaimed films Dreams of a Life and The Falling, discovered eighty-four boxes of Amiss’ uncatalogued work when she was awarded the Wellcome Screenwriting Fellowship, Amiss had gone completely unnoticed by the British art world. Typist Artist Pirate King, Morley’s recent feature, remedies this. Based on Amiss’ life, the film is a fictional imagining of a trip Amiss takes with her psychiatric nurse, Sandra, to present her work to a gallery in Sunderland, Amiss’ birthplace and the sight of an incident that left her with severe mental health issues for the duration of her life.

Mrs Holmes was a relation of the O’Hara-Burkes who owned Lenaboy Castle and the Lenaboy Estate. She persuaded them to sell some of their land, ‘the lower pasturelands’ farthest away from the house, down near the gates of the estate to be precise. There, she built the house in our photograph, which became known as Greenmount. She ran it as a B&B but eventually it became too big for her and she converted some farm buildings in what we now know as Lenaboy Park and built herself a small house.
