- REMEMBRANCE STONE - WAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
The Remembrance Stone at the War Memorial Hospital, Horncastle has had a spruce up ready for this years November Remembrance Event. The stone was removed and expertly cleaned by professional Memorial / Headstone restorers and now it is back in position, the surrounding area has had the old slabs removed and a new decorative white stone chipping put in place. The surrounding bushes have also had a bit of a trim as well! A very fitting restoration, I think you will all agree.
