Hello Heatherjulie
I phoned the estate agents
Who put me in touch with
The surveyor,
The guy is going to ask
The housekeeper because
The place has been empty
For some time and he
Himself has not seen the
War memorial.
I explained that the details
Are on WWW.warmemorialsonline.
Org.uk As they would also
Like any information on
War memorials photos
Conditions vandalism etc.
I was informed that it could
Have been moved by the
Owners
was it a
Donation?
Council property.? Etc.
