William Poel was an actor, theatre manager and dramatist, who lived in Amersham Road, Putney for a time. His surname was originally Pole, but he changed it following a misspelling on a theatre billing. In 1895 he founded the Elizabethan Stage Society, and he spent a lot of his career researching and lecturing on Elizabethan performance. He died at his home, 85 Howard's Lane, Putney, on 13 December 1934. He was cremated at Golders Green.
