As many of you know, despite protests, local and in Parliament, Sarah Chapman’s grave has now been mounded but we did manage to ensure that no heavy machinery went over her. We have the location securely marked physically and digitally, and hope to reinstate the temporary wooden cross and chain in 2023. 

The new headstone is in secure storage at the TUC HQ and can be put into position in 3 - 5 years, once until the earth has compacted and settled. We will then plan a celebration for Sarah and people will then be able to go and visit to pay their respects.
