Grave of John Clare, Helpston, Cambridgeshire, UK.

---

The tombstone lies in the Churchyard of St Botolph's Church in the village where the 19th century poet was born. Unlike most of the well-known poets of his era, he was born into the labouring class. He died in an insane asylum in 1864 at the age of 71.
