Linby, NG15
A side gate leading into the graveyard of St Michael's Church from Church Lane. Scores of pauper children, who were drafted in from London workhouses to work in Robinson's cotton mill in Papplewick and who died prematurely, are buried in this graveyard, as opposed to being buried in Papplewick church graveyard. George Robertson (1748-98) came from Aberdeenshire (formerly Kincardineshire) in 1737 and settled in Bulwell. It seems that because there was a strong prejudice against Scots in England at that time, he adopted the English name of Robinson. When he died he left £50 to "poor widows for Christmas". His tomb in the churchyard declares that "He lived a bright example of industry, and every Christian virtue" !
