Flatford Mill was owned by Constable's father. The house on the left side of the painting belonged to a neighbor, Willy Lott, a tenant farmer, who was said to have been born in the house and never to have left it for more than four days in his lifetime.

Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for his landscape paintings of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as ""Constable Country"" – which he invested with an intensity of affection.

It was considerably better received in France where it was praised by Théodore Géricault. The painting caused a sensation when it was exhibited with other works by Constable at the 1824 Paris Salon (it has been suggested that the inclusion of Constable's paintings in the exhibition was a tribute to Géricault, who died early that year). In that exhibition, ""The Hay Wain"" was singled out for"
