Expressions of interest for both attendees and veterans headstones to be cleaned.
Friends of St James and the local veteran's community of Charfeild, Wotton and Thorbury, are pleased to welcome Steve Davis the Military Grave Restorer, back to Charfield after the recently restored Charfield Rail Disaster Memorial, to run training with veterans to refurbish the graves of known Charfield WW1 veterans.
Find out more about Steve and his work here https://militarygraverestorer.org.uk/
Using Steve's experience, the ground maintenance support of the Friends of St James and environmentally-friendly heritage masonry cleaning products this course will provide all the knowledge needed to refurbish stone memorials as well as awareness of the permissions needed from the relevant authorities.
Funding has been applied for from the Veterans Foundation, if this doesn't come through the course will be pushed into next year.
