The Material Girls exhibition is being staged in the grade II Hayloft at the National Trust Rainham Hall where Anthony Denney was tenant during the 60's. Denney was a one of Conde Nast's chief photographers and his work featured in British Vogue Magazine. He was collector of art, a patron and a Master of Still Life. The Material Girls have taken their inspiration from some of the artists that were in his collection and given it their own twist.Entry into the gardens and exhibition are free, usual charge to the house apply
