2019: Kent Online confirmed: Gordon Newton, together with his daughter Elaine, from The Stone Shop at East Farleigh, donated the first memorial. Following vandalism The Stone Shop replaced it in 1995. Following more damage the new memorial was installed 18 April 2019, in time for the 26th anniversary of the murder.
