The grave of the famous artist Rossetti. The inscription on the cross reads: Here Sleeps Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti Honoured under the name of Dante Gabriel Rossetti Among Painters as a Painter and among Poets as a Poet Born in London of parentage mainly Italian 12 May 1828 Died at Birchington 9 April 1882
Oh WOW — I am getting chills …. My graduate degree work is on Rossetti. My thesis was called: “Painting Poetry – the Entwining of the Art and Verse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.” >sigh< I never understood why there wasn’t a major mini-series or TV show about the Pre-Raphaelite artists – - it was a real-life soap opera!!

Hi WalnutHill, there has been a tv series here in England featuring Rossetti and his gang!
I should have said recent tv series! I am not sure if the one you mention ever aired here in the States. If it did, it must have been before my time! ;-D

Thanks Catherine. I have walked past it so many times, I thought it was time to stop and take a picture.
