Life
Thrupp was born in Paddington Green in 1779 to Joseph Thrupp and his wife Mary. Her father was a coach builder and his business would, in time, become Thrupp & Maberly. The artist Frederick Thrupp was her half-brother. She wrote hymns that were published in the paper The Friendly Visitor and The Children’s Friend magazine. Although another source says that she contributed to magazines edited by Caroline Fry. Her most popular hymn was for children and it was titled A Little Ship on the Sea.[1]
Thrupp was the author of Thoughts for the Day that was published in 1837.[2] She died in St. John's Wood in London in 1847.[3]
