There has been land movement (the area has been prone to water logging, which will certainly have made some stones unstable). The cemetery staff tip them over, if it seems possible they might fall spontaneously, as a safety measure. Some have been re-settled, but that can be an expensive job. Probably some vandalism as well, of course.

As Penguin says, most of the movement is a combination of land movement, ongoing construction work and terribly thought out drainage. The ground alternately floods and then dries out which makes a lot of the older monuments wobble and then fall over.


According to one of the gardening team it?s not being helped by the number of people who park off the tarmac and on the grass verges - which compacts the ground causing more flooding and poor drainage. They put up parking markers to stop this a couple of years ago but some of them have been knocked over and people worry about their car blocking others so it?s a regular occurrence.


There was a survey team there about a month ago so I wonder if it?s related to that - pre-emptive to avoid injury.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
