PUBLIC NOTICE - Unsafe Memorials in the Churchyard - a message from the PCC
As you may have heard, memorials in Municipal Cemeteries are being tested to see if they are in danger of falling over. Our architect has advised us to do the same and several memorials in the churchyard have been found to be unstable. The Diocesan Advisory Committee advises us to lay unsafe memorials down, to protect people from being injured if they fall. We are particularly concerned about children doing school projects and the workmen who cut the grass. We are anxious, that the relatives of the persons commemorated by these memorials are informed as soon as possible. Below is a list of those, that have been identified as unsafe so far. If you are related to any of these people, or can help us trace their relatives, please contact the Churchwardens. Thomas Bellamy, July 11th 1921 and Alice Bellamy, April 5th 1930 James Avis, October 30th 1898?
