In 1950, Sorabji left London, and in 1956, he settled in The Eye,[n 7] a house that he had built for himself in the village of Corfe Castle, Dorset.[64] He had been on holidays in Corfe Castle since 1928 and the place had appealed to him for many years.[65] In 1946, he expressed the desire to be there permanently, and once settled in the village, he rarely ventured outside.[66] While Sorabji felt despised by the English music establishment,[67] the main target of his ire was London, which he called the "International Human Rubbish dump"[68] and "Spivopolis" (a reference to the term spiv).[65][69] Living expenses also played a role in his decision to leave the city.[65] As a critic, he earned no money,[51] and while his lifestyle was modest, he sometimes found himself in financial difficulties.[70] Sorabji had a strong emotional attachment to his mother, which has been partly attributed to being abandoned by his father and the impact this had on their financial security.[10] She accompanied him on his travels and he spent nearly two-thirds of his life with her until the 1950s.[71] He also looked after his mother in her last years when they were no longer together.[72]
