Helena Mott

Inscription

February 1st 1951
Helena Pare Lydia Mott
The summer's breath is spent upon the hills
Behold remember and rejoice she seems to say
I give you colour that the dolour of your winter may be eased until I come again.

The date on the plaque is the date of Mott's death. The poetry is Mott's own. The plaque is after a design by Rex Whistler, may well have been made by Doultons, and was erected by the Mott family on the house in which she had lived.
