Comments:
Wooden shaft movement noted. Monitor and investigate with structural engineer. Supporting wire secured to rear of Cross and attached to tree behind - previously installed. There is a high level of decay at base of shaft and lead flashing over base buttress. There is failing paint in areas of the Figure of Christ. It is noted that there is organic growth on the North and West sides of the Memorial. Mature trees and hedging around the Memorial shades for long periods of time. Arboricultural work would benefit with the potential removal of hedge and removal of overhanging branches. It is sited on a busy road junction corner and due to the nature of the stone there is organic staining. The Cross's shaft needs further investigation to ensure the structure is safe now and in the long term due to high level of decay in the base.
