The Hotblack Family
St Peter Mancroft Church, Hay Hill, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1QQ
Dr Mary Fewster talks about John and Virtue Hotblack who were born in Norfolk in the 18th century and married at St Peter Mancroft in 1820. The tablet dedicated to the couple is brass, embellished with a red and black border and was originally placed by their son, also called John Hotblack, in 1885. John junior was the mayor of Norwich at the time. From the tablet, people will learn that both John and Virtue were parishioners of St Peter Mancroft all that time ago. John was also a churchwarden between 1825 and 1827. To add to this, five of the couple's six children are also buried in the church vault.
