Description: This was the place where Robert Millhouse (1788-1839), a stocking maker and poet, died on Saturday 13th April, 1839. He was the second child in a family of ten, sent to work at six, and placed in a stocking frame at ten, with ill health and poverty and only a Sunday School education. He joined the Notts Militia at 22 and went to Ireland, to return four years later. He produced various single poems, then a collection of sonnets and in 1826 'The Song of the Patriot, Sonnets and Songs', which was well received. Other works followed such as 'Sherwood Forest' and 'The Destinies of Man'. There is a monument in the general cemetery carrying an inscription by Spencer Hall of some extravagance.
