    Maintenance History
    c 2009: Base was pinned to stabilise a crack. There is an annual check of the war memorial and it is professionally cleaned every 3-4 years at which point the names are repainted if they are needed. 2013 the top drum was replaced due to a major crack. 2014 a small plaque was erected nearby to mark the centenary of the start of the Great War.
