If anyone needs a photograph of the METTAM grave and it can be confirmed that it is at All Saints North Hykeham I am from Hykeham myself and have just bought myself a new dSLR camera, so would be happy to test it out on such a commission :)

Many thanks for the offer but I do have a photo of Alfreds grave.

 If memory serves me right it is in an overgrown part of the church yard and doesnt actually have a headstone as such, it is one of those grave monuments that surround the plot and is engraved on the sides. I believe that Annie Evison is in the same plot (his wife, my GG Grandmother) and next to it is the unmarked grave of my Great grandmother Mabel Mettam (Mabel Wilcoxon whos parents owned the Harrows pub at North Hykeham) and her stillborn child (as she died in childbirth around 1920).

My Grandfather and I spent the day there clearing the grave site about 10 years or so ago as it is overgrown.

It would be nice to see how it is now, however I expect it would be heavily overgrown again.

I was at the church a few weeks ago taking some photographs for a University project, and happened to bump into a small party of the wardens who had been tending to the church & churchyard, so although I don't know the grave from memory, perhaps the efforts of yourself and your Grandfather won't have been in vain after all :)

I have just seen the posting by Eileen from 2007 about photographs in this churchyard. The Samuel Herringshaw mentioned was married to my maternal great grandmother (his third wife). I would greatly appreciate it If Eileen could let me have a photo. I also have relations called Sewell buried in this church yard. Thank you.
