Madame Cresswell was an English eccentric of infamous character. She is famous for bequeathing ten pounds for a funeral sermon in which nothing ill should be said of her. The Duke of Buckingham wrote the sermon which said: 'All I shall say of her is this - she was born well, she married well, lived well and died well; for she was born at Shad-well, married to Cress-well, lived at Clerken-well, and died in Bride-well.'
