Grave of Christina Rossetti

Highgate Cemetery



Rossetti family grave.
Christina Rossetti.
Highgate is generally considered the most beautiful of the 'Magnificent Seven' London Victorian cemeteries.
Karl Marx is one of the most famous who are interned here.



Description:

Christina Rossetti wrote the hymn 'In the Bleak Mid-Winter'.

Members of the Rossetti family were involved with bringing the Brethren testimony to Italy.

Michael Faraday, the Christian scientist, is also buried here.

So is John Blackmore, of the London by Moonlight Mission, who I have mentioned elsewhere on this site.
