Paula Morel née Dorothy Carter (1905-1996) was a friend of Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst, the founders of Dartington Hall, Devon. She moved to Dartington in 1927 to take the position of house keeper and later married the manager of the hall's orchards and cider press, Roger Morel. The couple made Dartington their home and during her years there Paula also undertook the roles of model, dancer, actress, librarian and wardrobe mistress for the Estate's College of Arts.
