The restoration of an important but neglected historical monument. The minimum of intervention and great deal of care have been put into rescuing this early work of the important architect, John Carr of York. Attention to detail combined with scholarship have shown that small repairs can have a significant impact on historic structures. [The community involvement and the level of scholarship dedicated to such a small but significant project is particularly impressive. The research and debate given to the insertion of six new stones show how care and consideration can achieve worthwhile ends with few resources.]
