The headstones on these graves have been assessed and judged to be in need of immediate remedial attention to render them safe.  Ecclesiastical Insurance have advised the clergy, churchwardens and Parochial Church Council of Great Aycliffe Parish that if the families responsible for the care of the headstones are not minded to pay for the work to be done, then permission should be sought from the Diocese to lay the headstones flat immediately, in line with a duty of reasonable care to employees, volunteers and visitors to the graveyard. Anyone with information regarding these graves is asked to contact Revd Elizabeth Bland, c/o The Parish Office, St Clare’s Church, St Cuthbert’s Way, Newton Aycliffe DL5 5NT before the end of February.
