Classicist, scientist, organist, prolific composer of songs and church music. Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
Gerard Francis Cobb was the youngest of five children of the Reverend William Francis Cobb (1795-1862) - the rector of Nettlestead - and his wife, Mary Blackburn.
The five children were:- 1. Mary (1826-1906), 2. Clement Francis (1821-1896), 3. William Francis (1831-1916), 4. Francis (1834-1920), and 5. Gerard Francis (1838-1904). The parents were both musical, the mother being a pianist (and latterly organist at Nettlestead) and the father a 'cellist. Gerard early showed an aptitude for music and was able to pick out a tune on the piano while still a child, and without any formal instruction.
