More about this scene
Here we have the same scene again, 23 years on. The wrought iron railings and gates were removed during the Second World War. As we see here, the large stone gateposts were left standing for a number of years before being removed to give the area in front of the church a more open look. Additional plaques have been added to the war memorial to commemorate those men of the town who fell in the Second World War. The raised area to the left of the church houses the Jackson vault, the resting place of the forebears of the late Adrian Ward Jackson, well known through his friendship with the late Diana, Princess of Wales. The bench in front of it has provided a sunny place for rest and conversation or simply watching the world go by for generations of Gisborians. The gateway on the extreme right leads to the priory ruins.
