First of all many thanks to all who have helped me. now all i have to do is go through the details. Is there any records for Newland Churchyard plots i know William and Maud do not have a stone to the grave, I need to find them now. Once again many thanks.TM

I've quickly searched this forum without success in finding clues as to burial plot records for Newland. Unfortunately the searchbox from the website homepage doesn't seem to be working to help with this, have you searched the Documents & Articles section for example ? As you probably know the Old Photos section does carry some memorial photos altho of course not your Hobbs family.

Newland Church full contact details are on this webpage of their excellent website, I suggest contacting them if this FoD FH site doesn't have any plot records.
