Born in Greenwich, Elizabeth Stirling studied organ and piano as a private pupil of the Royal Academy of Music, which did not admit women. Organist of All Saints, Poplar (1839-1858), then of St Andrew Undershaft (1858-1880), and noted for her pedal playing, she was refused an Oxford degree in 1856 because she was a woman. Her publications include six pedal fugues on psalm tunes.
