Elisabeth Hagedorn

Inscription

Elisabeth Hagedorn lived here, 1892 - 1945.

The text is surrounded by incised line drawings of rose blossoms and leafy branches.

The mentioned this heart-shaped plaque (terracotta?) in passing and referred to Elisabeth Hagedorn as being an “ordinary mother”.  So it seems likely the plaque was erected after Hagedorn's death by close family who also lived here.

2025: Andrew has researched Elisabeth Hagedorn’s life and the dates given on the plaque are not her birth and death; they are the dates she lived in the house.  She and her husband were both born in Germany.  In 1891 they were living in this road, but at another house, in one room with their twins who had been born in Hampstead (possibly in that room) in 1890. By 1911 the family was at number 15, this house, and here the family stayed. Elisabeth was still living here when she died in 1945.
