The graves are no longer insitu, one or 2 are free standing, the rest removed, there are 2 areas where they have survived, the first area are all relating the the Jobson family

This is from quite an old post, but I just wondered if there is anyone in or around Horncastle who could help me with photos of any remaining Jobson memorials. We were in Horncastle 2 years ago and had a look for Jobson memorials at Holy Trinity and must have missed the 'Jobson area'. My wife is descended from the Horncastle Jobson's.

many thanks

Edward

What Jobsons are you interested in as I think there are some graves at the cemetery, I KNOW ONE OF THE jOBSONS AVE QUITE ALOT OF MONEY TO THE hORNCASTLE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN.

In terms of the gravestones /memorials, I am interested in any relating to the Jobson family.

As far as the 'money' you mentioned, George Jobson created a charity in his will for the benefit of the people of Horncastle together with annual bequests for the singing of carols over his fathers & brothers graves, ringing of the church bells and prizes for the Grammar School. If you are interested, I'll go through his multi page will & pick out the relevant bits.

I am just rather annoyed that we didn't find the graves at Holy Trinity, hence the request for help with photos.
