Personal Life
In 1914 Nash married Margaret Odeh, an Oxford-educated campaigner for Women's Suffrage. They had no children.
Between 1934 and 1936 Paul Nash lived near Swanage, Dorset. He produced a considerable number of paintings and photographs during this period.
Nash was asked by John Betjeman to write a book in the pre-war Shell Guide series. Nash accepted and compiled a guide to Dorset which features some peculiarities of landscape and architecture that are often overlooked. The guide was published in 1935 and is now particularly rare.
Nash died of heart failure on 11 July 1946, at Boscombe, Hampshire (now Dorset) and was buried on 17 July, in the churchyard of St. Mary's Church, Langley, Buckinghamshire (now Berkshire).

“Samuel Sewall, in a world of wigs,
Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
For foppery he gave not any figs,
But in his right and honor took the air.”
