===Residences and historical namesakes=== When first married (1874), Edward and Lillie Langtry had a property called Cliffe Lodge in [[Southampton]], Hampshire.<ref>{{cite book|last=Dudley|first=Ernest|title=The Gilded Lily|year=1958|publisher=Odhams Press Limited|location=London|page=35}}</ref> In 1876 they rented an apartment in Eaton Place, Belgravia, London. From early 1878 they lived at 17 Norfolk Street (now 19 Dunraven Street) in Mayfair, London.
