Composer Eliza Flower was born on 19th April 1803 and grew up in Harlow in Essex where she is buried beside her sister, the poet, Sarah Flower Adams, with whom she collaborated on many of her compositions. They both worked and sang together at South Place Unitarian Chapel, in Finsbury in London. Their contributions to cultural and political life were so important that when the chapel closed down their portraits and archive were moved to Conway Hall in London.
