Ellen FRADGLEY
Fradgley moved from Burford (Oxon) to St Ives in 1923, living at 7 Albany Terrace.
She seems to have left the town in 1931. The addresses given for her exhibits for the next few years were listed as various hotels around the country, then Southampton in 1936. Latterly, she settled in Chilbolton, Hampshire in 1938.
One of her best works is considered to be a portrait of Kathleen BRADSHAW (1927) of St Ives days.
