Dante Gabriel Rossetti

I've been meaning to go for ages, but today I finally got round to visiting Rossetti's grave. As one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, I was surprised to find such a prominent person in Western art buried just around the corner from me in Birchington. Rossetti moved here to kick his laudanum habit (as you do), and stayed until he died. During his time here he designed a stained glass window in Birchington's All Saints church which unfortunately I couldn't see from the inside, as the church was closed. His grave stone was designed by his lifelong friend Madox Brown and is very pretty and clearly Pre-Raph!
