Vandalism at Indian Queens Pit

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Indian Queens Pit has been vandalised for the second time in a month. I am proud to be a trustee of the Pit, which is protected as a Scheduled Monument, and I am very disappointed that the stonework around the platform has been deliberately damaged again (see below). The stones were also covered with broken glass.

Also on Sunday, one of the Parish Council’s seats was dragged into the Pit and set on fire (see below).

This criminal damage has been reported to the Police, but if anyone has any information about who might be responsible, please feel free to get in contact with me.
