The vegetation is taking over here. No doubt the current Coronavirus pandemic has brought grass cutting etc. to a temporary halt.

Royal Diamond Jubilee Memorials, Stonesfield, Oxon
The bottom memorial is inscribed:- "In commemoration of the 60th year of the reign of Queen Victoria. These waterworks erected by public subscription were opened by Consuela Duchess of Marlborough (1877-1964) on the 15th of June 1897". The waterworks cost £200, which was a lot of money at the time. The memorial misspells the name of the Duchess, which was actually Consuelo. She was the daughter of William Kissam Vanderbilt, a New York railway millionaire, and his wife Alva Erskine Smith. It is a pity that the engraved inscription, which was infilled with black paint or similar (much of which has worn off) has not been touched up.
The upper memorial's inscription reads:- "Commemorating her Diamond Jubilee Queen Elizabeth II 1952-2012".
