Portrait Painting of Mary Tunaley (b. 1775) by Joseph Wright of Derby.

A portrait painting of Mary Tunaley by Joseph Wright of Derby is held by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts. In April/May 2014, following relevant information from this project having been forwarded to Boston, the painting previously entitled "Mrs.Francis Boot" was retitled "Miss Mary Tunaley" with fresh provenance. Mary Tunaley also features in the provenance for the Joseph Wright painting "Portrait of Sarah and Ann Haden" held by the Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, Massachusetts.

Click on picture to enlarge and for further information.

Darley Abbey Mill, one of the Derwent Valley mills built ca. 1783 onwards ostensibly by landowner Thomas Evans and his sons. The Strutt and Evans families were closely connected by two marriages with Jedediah Strutt formerly a partner of Richard Arkwright.

Building started at around the same time as Strutt's second mill at Milford and Arkwright's Masson Mill at Matlock Bath (1783) so it's likely the Strutts were also much involved in the building of the Darley Abbey mills (see "The Original Tunaleys and a Timeline").

This mill, one of five, specialised in producing quality thread for sewing, embroidery and haberdashery. 150 houses were built for the workers.
