Born in Swardeston in Norfolk in 1865, Cavell served as a matron in the Berkendael Institute in Brussels, Belgium, which was taken over by the Germans in WW1.<\/p>\n

In violation of military law, Cavell was accused of helping hundreds of Allied soldiers to escape to the neutral Netherlands, and was executed by firing squad on October 12, 1915.<\/p>\n

The night before her execution she said the words now inscribed on her statue, “Patriotism is not enough, I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.”<\/p>\n

The statue in her honour stands opposite the National Portrait Gallery, St. Martin’s Place, near Trafalgar Square, London.<\/p>\n
