Dick Wyndham<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Joan\u2019s father, the artist, writer and photographer Richard Wyndham, satirised by his onetime prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Wyndham Lewis in his novel The Apes of God as the flagellist character, Dick Whippington.<\/p>\n

When Dick and Iris were first married they lived at Clouds, a grand country house built for Percy and Madeline Wyndham in 1886 by the Arts and Crafts architect Philip Webb. Their marriage did not last and Dick was too much of a Bohemian to hang onto Clouds for long. Joan was amused that it later became a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre where friends of hers sometimes went for treatment.<\/p>\n
