Inscription

Frances Trollope (1780 - 1863) author, lived at 16 Keppel Street near this site. Her sons, the authors Thomas Adolphus Trollope (1810 - 1892) and Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) were born there.

Unveiled by William Rees-Mogg in June 2000. Frances's date of birth, 1779 (according to the Dictionary of National Biography), appears incorrectly on the plaque as 1780.
