Codrington was born into the Devonshire gentry, at Bydown House in the parish of Swimbridge, in Devon. In 1889, aged 15, she was enrolled in the Royal Academy School in London where she was awarded two medals. In October 1901 she married the art critic P.G. Konody (1872-1933), who was then the editor of an art magazine and also wrote regularly for several newspapers. The couple had two daughters during the following five years. Codrington continued to paint, and a watercolour by her won a medal at the 1907 Exposition International d'Arte in Barcelonia. The Konodys lived in London and enjoyed a social scene that featured many artists, poets and writers. In 2015 an unpublished poem written to Codrington in 1909 by Ezra Pound emerged and was sold at auction in Edinburgh. The Konodys divorced in 1912 and Codrington continued her artistic career. In due course she married Gustavus Mayer, a partner in the Bond Street art dealers Colnaghi & Co.Cantine Franco-Britannique, Vitry-le-François (1919)In 1919 the Imperial War Museum acquired a large oil painting, Cantine Franco-Britannique, Vitry-le-François, by Codringham of a World War One canteen for French troops.
