Eliza Westbury

Eliza Westbury (1808-28), was a Baptist hymn writer from Hackleton, near Northampton, whose thin volume, Hymns by a Northamptonshire Village Female: to which is added a Short Account of her Life (Northampton: F. Cordeux for T. Wheeler, 1828) was published just after her death in 1828 in Northampton (copy at the Northamptonshire Record Office).
