THE CONTRASTING TOP FINIALS.

THE ORIGINAL The slender, original top stage of the cross, with its delicate buttress spires, just above the six finials. (From an old photograph.).

'THE TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT' The simplified, 'municipal cemetery' style, of the substitute top stage. One of the only two surviving finials has been removed for safe keeping. The graded bedding of the Stanton sandstone is entirely different from the original limestone.
