The Parminter memorial was a large polished granite Celtic Cross not far from the old Dissenter chapel. At some point the cross had been dismantled, while the kerbs were damaged by being based by the council mower.

The repair of this memorial was commissioned and paid for by the family direct with Fine Memorials. The memorial was put right again as Fine Memorials drilled the base stone and cross, inserted a stainless steel rod and joined them together. Afterwards they set the kerbs right again, and the memorial looked as good as new.

With this memorial back up, this whole area immediately looked better. More memorials nearby would following in subsequent years.
