At St Gregory's Church, Fledborough, Nottinghamshire, which is a redundant church, but open daily, thanks to being cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. A very plain memorial plaque, not the easiest to read - I had to use flash to pick up the lettering. Made locally, I'd guess.
I can only find a very brief notice of his death, in the Lincoln, Rutland, and Stamford Mercury, of 22.2.1901, under the Newark deaths.
"Feb 1, near Bloemfontein, from wounds, corp. John Charles (Kaffrarian Rifles) fourth son of the late John Charles Pickin, of Fledborough Manor, 23."
