The House in which Chatterton died, Brook-Street, Holborn, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The House in which Chatterton died, Brook-Street, Holborn, 1857....we looked over the Gentleman's Magazine...thinking to find an account of the circumstances of the young poet's death, but found no mention of it, his fame was not then of sufficient note to attract much notice. However, we managed to learn that it was in the house of Mrs. Angle, a sackmaker in Brook-street, that Chatterton, a day or two after he had by accident tumbled into an open grave in Old St. Pancras graveyard, died, and was removed for interment to the burial-ground belonging to the parish in which paupers were chiefly interred. The house, a little while ago, formed part of Steffanoni's furniture warehouses, and was in a tattered and ruinous condition, but has recently been repaired. It would be well if some inscription could be put on the houses which are so often passed without notice in the London streets...'.. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
