The roadside wall needs maintaining on the joints and the tiling on top as does the arch (there is wuite a sever crack that I need to strengthen and repair.  The worst area is the wall behind the car park as someone has &#8220;repaired &#8221; it with a layer of concrete that has only covered over the ingress of the ivy and the damage done to the mortar.  I will have to take it off carefully and repair it a bit at a time as I am worried it is so soft (from the concrete retaining moisture in the stone wall) it might collapse if it is all taken off at once.
