Comments:
WMT awarded a grant for works to this memorial in 2013 to clean and address legibility. Following any grant funded project is important that appropriate maintenance is undertaken to ensure that more significant projects are not needed within a relatively short space of time. WMT recommends regular condition checks, keeping photographs and creating a maintenance plan. War Memorials Online can help with this. Creating a record to show any soiling over time helps understand how often stone could/should be cleaned. A maintenance plan should include notes about how it should look, and when cleaning will be done. In cases such as this, with nearby trees etc, recolonisation by biological deposits is inevitable and cleaning may be required too often to be appropriate. Especially as there is raised lettering present which is showing significant deterioration.
