We met up again with Graham Swain (Bradford Grave Digger) and the Undercliffe Cemetery volunteers. In this episode they restore a fallen cross.
Each project that the team does has different challenges , and the solutions are not necessary always the same.
𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀:
James Sunderland born 19th December 1853 at Nelson, Lancashire.
A master printer of 83 Sydenham Place and married to Elizabeth born 14-04-1864 at Castle Eden, Durham (no obvious marriage records for them).
1911 census shows then having 8 children (2 of which had died), and being married since 1883.

• HOW TO RESTORE OLD GRA...
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀:
Assess the damage: Before attempting any restoration work, assess the condition of the fallen cross. Determine whether it is broken, cracked, or simply detached from its base. Take note of any missing or damaged pieces.
Clean the area: Clear away any debris or overgrown vegetation around the fallen cross. This will make it easier to work on and will help prevent further damage to the surrounding area.
Gather materials: You may need to purchase or gather materials such as epoxy glue, sandpaper, wood filler, paint, or varnish depending on the type of cross and the extent of the damage.
Repair the cross: If the cross is broken or cracked, use epoxy glue to join the pieces together. Sand away any rough edges or excess glue. If the cross is missing pieces, use wood filler to fill in any gaps. Sand and paint or varnish the cross as needed.
Secure the cross: Once the cross is repaired and restored, secure it to its base using screws or brackets.
Maintain the cross: To ensure the longevity of the restored cross, regularly inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. Make any necessary repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Respect the cemetery: Remember to always show respect for the cemetery and those buried there. Follow any rules or regulations regarding restoration work and always obtain permission from the cemetery management before attempting any restoration work.
Peace!
