Recently, the Friends were contacted by a local man who asked whether we could tidy his ancestors’ grave, in exchange for a donation towards our ongoing work. The grave had been partially covered in soil by rabbits digging alongside it. Yesterday, at our monthly volunteers’ Working Morning, we carried out the work. The gentleman in question visited the grave in the afternoon and expressed his delight at the improvement. Here are before and after photographs.

 

Meanwhile, we have been assisting another gentlemen, who now resides in Italy, to restore the grave of close family friends. On this occasion, we have been helped by the Victoria Cross Trust, to whom our client has made a donation. The before and after photos in this case make a striking contrast.
