Elizabeth Steatham's Grave Restoration Fund Appeal 
Elizabeth Steatham Grave 10th November 2009 I visited James Bridge Cemetery recently and found that Elizabeth Steatham’s grave, number L 207, has been marked as dangerous! The block, marked in “in loving memory”, at the base of the cross, has become detached from the block below, and can now slide about or potentially fall - see photo. If nothing is done to make it safe, the cemetery will take the cross, and the block, and place them on the ground, ideally on the grave, inside the area of the curbstones, (they will have to see if they will fit). We have only five significant Steatham gravestones remaining, year date of first burial in brackets. Henry George Steatham, (1924) Charlton – in good order. Richard Samuel Steatham, (1944) France – maintained by the CWGC. George Steatham, (1918) James Bridge – maintained by the CWGC. Moses Steatham, (1896) James Bridge – still sturdy, but leaning to the side a bit. Robert Steatham, (1928) James Bridge – still in good order. And lastly Elizabeth Elizabeth & Sarah’s, (1913). I have consulted a stone mason, and the cost to repair this is about £500. I have checked who the owner of the grave is, and it was purchased by Sarah for her Sister Elizabeth when she died, Thomas went in next, and then Sarah followed. The grave is still owned by Sarah, and as she had no descendants (she never married), the grave was never transferred to someone else. There was not really much point in having the ownership transferred as the grave was now full. Any suggestion how we could get monies together, to get it repaired would be most welcome. Remember anyone from the Henry George Steatham line of the family (Elizabeth was Henry’s Mother), and as such Elizabeth is their direct ancestor. We only need say 10 people to offer £50 each and it could be repaired. I will contribute £50, so there are 9 to go! Maybe we could have very small plaque engraved with everyone’s name who has contributed, inscribed on it, and have it placed by the stonemason between the bases, under the cross. Just an idea so people could feel more a part of this. I have been told that the new method of pinning using stainless steel pins will last, well the exact words used were “forever”, that might be an exaggeration, but I think we could forget about it for a very long time. Any comments or views about what we should / could do would be very welcome. 8th June 2010 George Steatham page modified to reflect his gravestone being replaced by the CWGC. Elizabeth Steatham et al page modified to reflect her gravestone being laid flat by the council.

I have inquired about the age of this one and the reply was "This looks to be somewhat earlier [than the main one] but how much I am not sure. At a guess turn of 18th/19th century?".
