Restoration of Phyllis Dunn Memorial

Earlier this year, the Society paid AC Towner stonemasons to clean the memorial in Bexhill Cemetery of our benefactress, Phyllis Dunn. As you can see from these Before and After images, the stonemasons made a wonderful job of it. Later this year, we plan to replace the missing lead lettering.

When Phyllis Dunn died in 1989, she left a generous legacy to the BOTPS. This reflected the Dunn family’s close ties to Bexhill Old Town. The Phyllis Dunn Fund has made an enormous difference to Bexhill Old Town over the past thirty years, including the brick pavements and lamp posts that are to be seen throughout the Old Town; major repairs and renovations to the Manor Barn; funding the flood lighting of St Peter’s Church; paying for the entire redesign of Barrack Hall Park, including relocating the allotments and improving the children’s play area; and numerous grants both to residents of the Old Town to help maintain their historic buildings and to many local schools, churches and philanthropic organisations.
