Margery Allingham was born on May 20, 1904,
in Ealing, a London suburb. Shortly after her birth the family moved to a
square, white, late-Georgian house which had been the rectory at Layer
Breton, between Maldon and Colchester, and she was to spend most of her
life in or near that part of Essex. In 1932, Margery and her husband, the writer and illustrator P. Youngman Carter, rented Viaduct Farm at Chappel and three years later they bought D'Arcy House, formerly the home of Dr J H Salter, at Tolleshunt D'Arcy, near Maldon, which was to be their home for the rest of their lives. She died of cancer on June 30, 1966.
