Comments:
The memorial appears to have been well looked after since the War Memorials Trust conservation and repair grant in 2014 (see WMT link). The memorial itself and the surrounding area appear to be well tended, largely clear of litter and tidy. The lamp, pedestal and stone base seem secure with no evidence of movement or cracking and there are no missing elements evident. The lettering and decorative elements are well defined; the names and inscriptions being easy to read. There is no evident damage caused by vandalism or graffiti. The surrounding church railings appear complete with no obvious peeling paint or missing mortar. The memorial is visible from the street through the church fencing at all times but can only be closely approached when the church gates are unlocked. (The condition statement for glass below actually refers to the replacement clear plastic panels.)
