I visited St James this morning and was disheartened to find that while the pews and such are covered up, whilst restoration work is carried out, the War Memorial was left uncovered. I hadn't realised until getting home and downloading the photos, how bad the memorial was.
I have made a phone call, and hopefully it will be covered by the end of the week.

These people knew I was coming today, and as Shred has said in another conversation, it would have taken all of 10 minutes, to clean it up with a cloth and some water
