Beatrice Sheward Hatch (24 September 1866 – 20 December 1947) was an English muse of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll.

She was one of a select few children that Dodgson photographed naked, therefore making Hatch the subject of much contemporary study and speculation.

[2][3] Edwin Hatch was a theologian; author; a vice-principal of St. Mary Hall, Oxford; and later a university reader in Ecclesiastical history.

[5] The Hatch family moved in "stimulating circles", including friendships with Edward Burne-Jones, Algernon Charles Swinburne and William Morris.

[6] The family lived in a Gothic-style house built in 1867 on Banbury Road in Norham Gardens, North Oxford, England.

Other acquaintances in the neighbourhood who visited the Hatch family included Bonamy Price, Mark Pattison, and Benjamin Jowett.

[17][18][19] Upon their father's death in 1889, Beatrice and sisters Ethel and Evelyn were the beneficiaries of patronage from Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 5th Marquess of Salisbury.
