Michael Parrott reported that there were 86 members of the public at
the 5 August tour at Broadwater Cemetery, Worthing. The only vandals are the
grass-cutting contractors who have taken out a couple of chips of marble from
the kerb stone of Jefferies’ grave and also have damaged memorial trees with
strimmers. The Friends of Broadwater Cemetery have lodged a complaint and this
is being taken seriously by the council. They should too - the Jefferies’ grave
is a Grade II listed building. The memorial garden wild flowers are going over
now; there are still geraniums and mallows low down in the grass. The memorial
mulberry tree leaves are a bit spotty and most of the fruit was battered down
by recent heavy rain. The photographs are supplied by Mr Parrott.
