What is recorded here
Bishop Street in County Derry carries a blue plaque marking the house where Cecil Frances Alexander lived from 1818 to 1895. The Ulster History Circle recorded her as a hymn writer, preserving the fact that this ordinary residential wall belongs to a woman whose words entered kitchens, chapels and memory across generations. The plaque reduces a lifetime to one line, yet that line points toward rooms where prayer may have been composed in quiet hours.
This blue commemorative plaque records: Mrs Cecil Frances Alexander 1818-1895 hymn writer lived here Recorded plaque organisation: Ulster History Circle.
Cecil Frances Alexander was a prominent Victorian hymn writer known for compositions such as "All Things Bright and Beautiful," significantly contributing to Christian worship music.
