The tree has also toppled the rear and left hand kerbs and cast iron posts, also breaking the cast iron chain rail to the rear and left side. The tree has been trimmed of a smaller branches and foliage but the main body of the tree remains that would require the assistance of a powered saw to remove to ground level and prevent further tilting of the monument.
