Early lifeShe was born Mabel Hatch in a well-connected family.[1] She studied in Dresden and Bruges, harmony and composition.[2] CareerShe was a leading "patroness of music and the arts, mezzo-soprano and composer" of drawing rooms songs.[1] One of her best composition was the setting of "The Queen's Last Ride" by the poem of Ella Wheeler Wilcox. She was an accomplished singer, pianist and guitar player.[4] Personal lifeIn 1874 she married George Batten, secretary to the Viceroy of India.[1] They had one daughter, the painter and film maker Lady Cara Harris.[2] Cara Harris's daughter was Honey Harris, friends with Dolly Wilde, and Honey Harris's daughter is Cara Lancaster.[2] In the 1880s she had a relationship with Wilfred Scawen Blunt.[2] She was friends with composer Adela Maddison who, in 1893, dedicated her "Deux Melodies" to her.[2][3] She was also friends with composer Ethel Smyth.[4] From 1906 she was friends with Toupie Lowther and her brother Claude Lowther. In 1913 Batten and Hall visited the Lowthers at Claude's Herstmonceux Castle.[4] On August 22, 1907, at Bad Homburg, a spa in Germany, Mabel Batten met Radclyffe Hall. Batten was 51 years old and Hall was 27. When Batten was a widow, she went to live with Hall in Cadogan Square.[1] Batten, nicknamed Ladye, gave the name John to Hall, which Hall used for the rest of her life.[5] In 1915 Hall met Batten's cousin Una Troubridge (1887–1963).
