The Story of Cliff House. 8. Famous visitors American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow nicknamed 'The Lion' visited Poet Laureate, Alfred, Lord Tennyson at his home Farringford House on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom during 15-18 July, 1868. He was accompanied by his two sisters, brother-in-law, 3 daughters, son, and daughter-in-law. The Longfellow clan stayed at the Plumbly's Hotel and then Henry Ribbands' Bonchurch Hotel. Many other famous and socially elevated guests came and went, Kings, Lords, Earls, Dukes, Marquises, Marchionesses, Duchesses, Countesses etc., their movements all dutifully recorded in the “Fashionable Lists” of the local newspapers and are far too numerous to include here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6809529d524efc663bd67a2c/dbfe1ff4-91c3-4f3e-ae09-ad92ea7a1907/12.jpg Blog - FADED GLORY.

Rossetti's lost drawings of Swinburne? - Sometimes, a strange coincidence occurs. A few years ago, I bought a battered copy of The Bonchurch Edition, Letters, a volume of the Complete Works of Swinburne, 1927. Loosely enclosed was a letter and a few photographs of drawings by Rossetti of Swinburne. I didn't overthink about them as I am not a fan of the drawing on Hutchings and Turley's "Young Life of Algernon Swinburne", which I hadn't read closely until recently. On the first page, a rare image on the front cover is described. The image was intended for Rossetti's Early Italian Poets, 1861, but it wasn't used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6809529d524efc663bd67a2c/c2695f22-4913-4766-830a-3453998ccf5b/Screenshot+2025-05-05+at+11.50.56.png Blog - New Discovery!
