Hello all,
As some of you may already be aware, I am currently proposing an appeal to fund a memorial - a simple, tasteful one, likely a simple plaque - to Frances Coles to be situated in the East London Cemetery, Plaistow; it is my hope that this could be in place by the 120th anniversary of her death, in February of next year. Some of you may not already be aware that Coles grave is at present entirely unmarked, and indeed there is even some confusion as to where it is - even roughly - located.
Details of the appeal and, to a slightly lesser extent, the memorial itself are still fairly loose and fluid, and I would be very grateful for any input or suggestions to help us achieve this. To this end, the proposals have over the last few months been mooted both on my website and, more recently, in the latest edition of Casebook Examiner. I had hoped that the latter, in particular, may garner some feedback - positive or negative - and of course it may well still do, but at the moment it appears that my small feature article has become somewhat (understandably) lost to the greater debate around some of the larger issues raised by the edition. To this end I have decided to start a new thread here, separate to the CE2 thread, in the hope of starting some debate.
As I say, I am open to any feedback, be it positive or negative - although I would hope if the latter it would be constructive, at least. Whilst commited to this project, I am not precious about it - Mark Ripper has already informed me that he considers me something of a sentimental fool in all of this, and I can assure you that I still count him as a friend.
Many thanks for any support, comments etc - and thanks for reading.

) for the 'new' support. And, of course, to Jenni, without whom this whole thing may well not have got this far.

Please keep us posted on here or via Examiner--or just nab me at the conference; this is such a great idea and I'm just pleased to be able to chuck a little something at it
