History

Maker(s): MR E C GREEN, Mason
Sponsor Type: public
Maintenance History: Letter from Rod Gibson to Mr Hewitt of the IWM stating the 'Parish Council is about to renovate the memorial' as the local members of the RBL (including Hewitt) were looking into the cost of adding more detail. It was proposed the names were to be re-engraved on removable panels which although costly in the first instance, it would produce considerable future savings for maintenance costs. This letter was sent on the 13th February 1998.
