Robert Watchorn was a benefactor of Alfreton after the first world war. In 1927, the Watchorn Memorial Primitive Church was founded and later a school, a manse and cottages, all in memory of his mother. A sports ground and pavilion were given in remembrance of his son. He also had the Lincoln Library built, now a Masonic Hall. Please see http://www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.uk/alfreton.htm for more information on the Watchorn connection with Alfreton.
