defoe's 1731 grave is marked with this victorian obelisk, an earlier tombstone is in hackney museum. someone brought him a pot plant; bunyan got none, but blake gets the most. it seems london's literary mourners have a niceness of taste.

now in hackney museum, this gravestone came from bunhill fields, the nonconformist campo santo , where it marked the grave of the author of robinson crusoe, who died in 1731 . It looks to date from the mid c19, and was replaced later in the century by a much bigger obelisk. he lived in stoke newington near hackney.
