Codrington was born in Bydown, near Barnstaple in Devon. Her father was the local squire and an amateur playwright and her mother was a writer and painter. [1] Aged 15, Codrington was enrolled in the Royal Academy School in London where she was awarded two medals. [2] 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. [3] The couple had two daughters during the following five years, one of whom, Pauline Konody, would also become a painter. [1] Codrington continued to paint, and a watercolour by her won a medal at the 1907 Exposition International d'Arte in Barcelonia.

In 2015 an unpublished poem written to Codrington in 1909 by Ezra Pound emerged and was sold at auction in Edinburgh.
