Lewes District Council have been praised for refurbishing a piece of history displayed in one of the town's gardens.

In September, Lewes resident Nick Robinson told SussexWorld that a circular stone commemorating a royal visit to Southover Grange Gardens was in a ‘terrible condition’.

Since then, the district council have cleaned the stone, set in concrete and framed it with bricks to protect the historical artefact.
