TICKELL F (Frederick Tickell) - CH - NO CHANGE - Fissure/crack around the full circumference of the Botticino headstone, about 6-10cm from the top. In places, there is an accumulation of what looks/feels like pale green paste in/around the crack/fissure (not all I think algae). There is a slight dark green algae build-up around the top of the headstone but not enough to justify cleaning at this time. Headstone is stable and vertical with no sign of movement of the top section. [LHS] minor chipping to the rear top edge corner. Like other graves in the churchyard, a number of snow drops, crocuses and daffodils are growing in front of the headstone. No weeding required.

TICKELL F (Frederick Tickell) - CH Botticino - Fissure/crack around the full circumference of the headstone, about 6-10cm from the top. In places, there is an accumulation of what looks/feels like pale green paste in/around the crack/fissure (not all I think algae). Algae build-up on all faces of the headstone. Attempted clean which shifted some but not all. As per photos, the CH is now distinctly mottled, not just around the crack/fissure. The inscription is though legible. Headstone is stable and vertical with no sign of movement of the top section. [LHS] minor chipping to the rear top edge corner.
