Oakham Town Council Say: The War Memorial in All Saints Churchyard

is currently being sympathetically cleaned.

The work is being paid for by Oakham Town Council

and the Trustees of the Memorial Institute.

From the distance the memorial looks clean.

A closer look shows it is not clean

the pointing is damaged.

£2000 for a man to use a high pressure washer  is

not a sensitive way to clean the memorial.

The surface of the stone has been damaged

it now feels a looks like coral.
