September 15th is the date scheduled for work to start on stabilising the wall around Eastham Churchyard. The wall was built in about 1860 to contain the made-up ground section of the extended churchyard. As it is an important feature of the Conservation Area lime mortar will be used and the original sandstone blocks careful cleaned and replaced in their original positions. A recent collapse of a section of the wall after recent heavy rains has made the measures urgent.
