In this house lived in 1851 Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), poet and painter, and from 1856-1859 William Morris (1834-1896), poet and artist, and Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), painter.

Plaque material is Hopton Wood Stone. The design is similar to that of the plaque commemorating Joseph Chamberlain at 188 Camberwell Grove, Southwark.
