On 12 August 2018 - the 191st anniversary of Blake's death, he was finally honoured with a gravestone at his last resting place at Bunhill Fields.

For the first 100 years there was no marking for his grave. In the 1920s a memorial stone was erected, but was in the wrong location. After decades of being lost to history, two sleuths finally uncovered the exact location of his remains, and a campaign to raise £300,000 was launched.

Bunhill Fields burial ground is in the London Borough of

Islington. As well as the location of his parents and two of his brothers and his widow Catherine, it is also the burial site of Daniel Defoe, John Bunyan and Susanna Wesley.
