Mrs Linsdell was the wife of Thomas Linsdell, a prosperous fishing smack owner and licensee of the 'Ship Inn', Heath Street, Barking. Over her left shoulder can be seen the north gate of Barking Abbey, of which very few illustrations exist. The north gate originally contained the Chapel of St Nicholas (first mentioned in 1456) and was demolished in 1881.
