One of the gravestones in the Churchyard commemorates Issac Edward Jackson and his wife, Harriet Jackson;there are also memorials to Issac and Harriet within the Parish Church,including the window in the Lady Chapel depicting Hilda,Abbess of Whitby. Friday 18th March 2022 marks the centenary of the death of Issac. The recording and care of these historically significant gravestones and memorials fall within our stewardship of the Churchyard and of the Parish Church. We are grateful to the descendents of the Jackson family for the re-gilding of the gravestone commemorating Issac and Harriet Jackson in time for this anniversary. On Sunday,20th March 2022 the family will gather in the Churchyard to celebrate and give thanks for the life of this remarkable local benefactor. Read more about Issac Jackson
