Elizabeth Favell (d. 1840) was a widow who ran a decorating firm under the name Elizabeth Favell and Son. She lived in Petty Cury, Cambridge, and had at least four children: Edward, James, Samuel, Thomas and Mary. She was already a widow when, in 1809, the Norfolk Chronicle reported that she and James Favell 'painters' had filed for bankruptcy. In 1813, the Prince Regent granted her a pension of £40p/a following the death of her son, Captain Samuel Favell, at the Battle of Salamanca in 1812. She also lost another son, Lieutenant Thomas Favell, during the Siege of Cadiz. By the 1830s, she was running the business with her son Edward and his signature features on many of the receipts.
