Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
Sue , Maggie and Sheila were at the regular Spital Cemetery workparty, and were joined by one other volunteers. while Maggie went off to tidy some of the war graves, the others started to tackle a tangle of hawthorn and brambles that were completely obscuring one of the headstones. Much chopping later, we had a couple of hippo bags of debris, and the headstone was revealed. To help get rid of as much of the dead branches as possible, some well-aimed boots did the trick. We were delighted to find a jersey tiger moth caterpillar, which we let loose to find it's favourite food of nettles and brambles, of which there are plenty! The headstone belonged to Alfred Stevenson his wife Ellen Mary and youngest daughter Helen Mina
