Comments:
The cross is structurally stable but would benefit from being cleaned as there is some biological growth. The inscription for the WW1 is complete and legible. However, the WW2 slab and inscription is almost completely overgrown with soil and plants, exacerbated by the plastic wreathes and flowers left in remembrance. Unfortunately this means the WW2 names are completely illegible at this time. I suspect this could be easily remedied by gently pulling back the plants and brushing away the loose soil from the slab. I will revisit when the weather improves to check whether the names on the slab are readable when the overgrowing plants are removed.
