As the work on the stone has gone so much better than expected, the Committee has decided that Phase 2 of the renovation will not be necessary, and so would like to close this campaign. The surplus donation of £194 will be put towards another, future John Thomson project. For onward John Thomson exhibition tour dates to Dublin and Stoke on Trent, please see: www.JohnThomsonExhibition.org Thank you for all of your support, from The John Thomson Grave Restoration Committee.

The group visit to Streatham Cemetery on 13 July was a great success – please see below the cleaned-up headstone! Both the Committee and John Thomson’s relatives agreed that the renovated stone looks excellent, and much better than expected. If you would like to plan a future visit, Streatham Cemetery is at Garratt Lane, Tooting, London SW17 0LT. Grave number: 545F
