New Headstone for the Unmarked Grave of George Waller VC

In the course of my photography I work with numerous Sussex based businesses, not all land based. One current assignment is for the Downsview Monumental Company in Burgess Hill who design and install a wide range of headstones, memorials and monuments.

I'm photographing on location headstones, memorials and monuments for their website and social media marketing.


This is a headstone installed late in 2014 after a branch of the Royal British Legion discovered a winner of Britain's highest honour for gallantry had died a pauper and was buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard at Holy Trinity Church in Hurstpierpoint.

The headstone is Portland stone hand craved and lettered by Master Stonemason Dave Collins.
