Comments:
The trees have been pruned back, the felt above the canopy looks new, there are two large, well-stocked planters on either side of the cross. There are no poppy wreaths, despite it being soon after the Centenary. The crucifix has a lot of general dust and cobwebs. The (bronze?) figure is stained bluey-green, as are the stone base and tablet. The metal plaque at the foot of the cross is missing one screw. The inscription on the stone tablet is missing the leaded 'i' of 'resurrection', and a few other letters have slight damage.
