Edward James was an eccentric benefactor of the arts, but he will be remembered best for the surreal palace he built in the remote jungles of Mexico.He was, the BBC declared, the last of the great eccentrics. A self-described wizard and a poet, he was also a model who appeared in the paintings of René Magritte and Salvador Dalí and hands down one of 20th century England’s most flamboyant aristocrats.
