How tall was the gravestone that killed a child? Probably four or five feet high.
Such a stone could well kill if it fell on a child but photos show many smaller stones have been felled by Lewes District Council.
No stone less than a metre high should have been tested.
Even if they had failed, they afford less leverage to high winds or vandals and would do less damage in falling.
