Parham Mill (or Parham Mill, Gillingham) is an 1826 landscape painting by the English artist John Constable.[1] It portrays a view of the Parham watermill in Gillingham, Dorset. In 1823 Constable was staying with his friend John Fisher, nephew of the Bishop of Salisbury, who suggested he should paint it. Constable was attracted to the mill which he called "wonderfull old & romantic".[2]
Although the mill burned down in 1825, Constable was able to complete the painting from his earlier drawings. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy's 1826 Summer Exhibition at Somerset House. Today it is in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art.[3]
