  • Eleanor Coade (3 June 1733 – 18 November 1821) was a British businesswoman known for manufacturing Neoclassical statues, architectural decorations and garden ornaments made of Lithodipyra or Coade stone for over 50 years from 1769 until her death. She should not be confused or conflated with her mother, also named Eleanor. Lithodipyra ("stone fired twice") was a high-quality, durable moulded weather-resistant, ceramic stoneware; statues and decorative features from this still look almost new today. Coade did not invent 'artificial stone', as various inferior quality precursors had been both patented and manufactured over the previous forty years, but she probably perfected both the clay recipe and the firing process. She combined high-quality manufacturing and artistic taste, together with entrepreneurial, business and marketing skills, to create the overwhelmingly successful stone products of her age. She produced stoneware for St George's Chapel, Windsor; The Royal Pavilion, Brighton; Carlton House, London and the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Shortly after her death, her company produced a large quantity of stoneware used in the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace. Born in Exeter to two families of wool merchants and weavers, she ran her business, "Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory", "Coade and Sealy" and latterly "Coade" (by appointment to George III and the Prince Regent), for fifty years in Lambeth, London. A devout Baptist, she died unmarried in Camberwell. In 1784 an uncle, Samuel Coade, gave her Belmont House, a holiday villa in Lyme Regis, her late father's town of origin. She decorated the house extensively with Coade stone. (en)

  • Eleanor Coade, född 1733, död 1821, var en engelsk affärsidkare. Hon var dotter till ullhandlaren George Coade och Eleanor Enchmarch, och flyttade med sin familj från Exeter till London 1760, där hon drev en linnebutik. Hon gifte sig aldrig, vilket innebar att hon enligt engelsk lag var myndig. År 1769 avled hennes var, och samma år köpte Eleanor Coade en fabrik som tillverkade konstgjord sten, som hon gav namnet Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory. Hon uppfann inte konstgjord sten, som ibland har påståtts, men lär han vidareutvecklat den. Hon använde sin fabrik för att tillverka statyer i nyklassicistisk stil, som hon 1773-80 ställde ut på . Under denna tid, när nyklassicismen blev alltmer modern, gjorde hennes statyer succé, och hon kom att bli en mycket framgångsrik fabrikör. Hon utnämndes till kunglig hovleverantör av George III. (sv)

  • I ELEANOR COADE of Great Surrey Street, Blackfriars Road in the parish of Christchurch in the County of Surrey, Spinster, in the fear of God who has blessed my labours amidst many afflictions to the accumulating some property which I now consider as a talent to be rendered back to Him whenever he shall see fit to remove me to that better inheritance which through the aboundings of his Grace in Christ he has enabled me as a chief sinner to hope for, pressed down with favours innumerable it is my desire to glorify him in the following distribution. But first I entreat those of my relatives who will share less than others not to impute the difference to want of affection but to their own different situations and other existing circumstances which give some of them a claim to more special notice and as none of them do rank with the absolutely poor of the land. The Lord's poor and the spread of his Gospel will be allowed by those who know the worth of it so have a powerful demand on the heart of a ransomed sinner. (en)
