Meaning & History
Cremorna Garden is the former stage name of Mrs. Rosanna Wrayburn, a retired Victorian-era stage performer, in the 1930 novel Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers. It is based on the name of Cremorne Gardens, which were popular pleasure gardens in London during the mid-19th century (from 1845 until the gardens closed in 1877), named for Thomas Dawson, 1st Viscount Cremorne (1725-1813; see the Irish place name Cremorne).
