We are aware of concerns regarding the recent laying down of gravestones at Lumbutts Methodist Church. This was necessary after a number of the stones had suddenly become unsafe and is standard practice to prevent accidents.

Our contractors visited the site on Monday, 19th August, afternoon to consider how best to move each stone back onto its grave. We respectfully ask that people apply patience and understanding as we move forward with this work.
