by
G. Townsend
Trans. Devon. Assoc. 14, (182), pp. 695-701.
Prepared by Michael Steer
Jackson was born and died in Exeter, the son of a grocer who later became master of the city workhouse. He was sent in 1748 to London, to become a pupil of John Travers, organist to the Chapel Royal. In 1767 he wrote the music for an adaptation of Milton's Lycidas, which was produced at Covent Garden on the occasion of the death of Prince Edward, brother to George III. On his return to Exeter, Jackson taught music until 1777, when he was appointed subchanter, organist, lay vicar, and master of choristers to the cathedral.
