Yes there is a memorial constructed in memory of William Blake and her wife Catherine Boucher. It is constructed at Westminster Abbey; the memorial was erected in the year 1957. He was not very well renowned in his lifetime. He was became a phenomenal success only after he passed away. William Blake passed away on the 12th of August in the year 1827, he passed away at six in the evening and his body was buried on the 17th of August, a day before his 45th wedding anniversary. His wife Catherine Boucher later passed away in the October of 1831.

His wife Catherine loved him deeply and felt his presence even after he was gone. She is reported to have a prescient sense that she was at her last. She felt Blake did not have to wait very long for her. Death had done all death can.
