Although the cross next to Robert's grave looks a problem, the men from Welsby's were happy that it is quite safe at the present time, As with all monuments within the churchyard we try and keep an eye on them for signs of change and this would particularly be the case for a grave that is visited on a regular basis. We'll do our best at St P, particularly in view, of all your hard work.

Hope this shows the inscription a little better.

Everything went well today and the stone is in place .I'll try and attach a picture with this post but I'm not to clever on this kind of thing! The picture was taken before the kerbs were finally in place so the plot looks better than the picture.

I met the stonemason in the churchyard today and they were returning the plinth. It has been polished and looks like a new stone. Beacause the church has two funerals in church on Friday they are now hoping to replace the headstone tomorrow. I will report back if there are any further developments.

Should you have the oppurtunity to visit St Ps please introduce yourselves. I am around this week till Sunday then I have a few days off.

Good news. The headstone has been removed by Welsby's today and even better news is that it is the correct stone! They have put in the foundations and taken the headstone away to clean and fix to the plinth. Speaking to the stonemasons the headstone will be fitted this Friday and evidently the press will be in attendance. Time is uncertain at the moment as there are 2 church funerals on Friday so we will have to work around them. Probably looking at the  aftrenoon but I should know more in the next day or two.

I really sruggle to keep pace with this thread and I hope it is OK to "borrow" the description on the last post to update the St Peters website and keep people in touch in Woolton and further a field. When eventually you all do get together at St Peter's it would probably be good to have refreshments in the church hall which probably would have been a building Robert would be familiar with over 80 years ago. The website link is

If there is any problem let me know and I can remove or amend it.

Just to say that The Echo came today to church to take a photo of the grave and they mentioned the feature should be in the paper "soon".

That's great Graham, thank you so much!  And please thank the Church Council too!

The Echo want a photo of someone from the group by the gravestone.  Is it alright for me to send them the one of you that Edna's sister took when she visited St Peter's?  Or if you can have one taken of yourself with the stone you can email it to the reporter at the Echo tonight or tomorrow.  I can pm you with his email address.

He's putting our article through to his Editor to see if it will be accepted and needs a photo asap.  I thought it might an opportunity to mention your roof fund.....!  ;D

Thanks,
Lynne



Sorry for the delay. At a rather big football match in Liverpool last night!!! I'm sure it is best to send the photo you have that is available for the sake of time. The Echo know where to contact me if they need any help.

Hi Graham

Thanks for popping in!

It will be great to see Robert's story on the Church website!

Will there be any Church fees for the work on Robert's gravestone because we haven't taken them into account?  Welsby's mentioned them.  We don't have them at All Saints Speke so I didn't think to ask!



Lynne


Church fees would normally be payable but when Welsby's contact me I will  let them know that the church will waive any fee on this occassion.
Graham
