Our Walled Garden

During 2016 we started work on a quiet corner of the Cemetery right on the edge of  Cemetery Road behind the South Lodge.

Work started in this corner because it kept flooding and the path was always very muddy.

We started digging back the mound of soil next to the path to allow the water to escape, as we dug back we found loads of stone mixed in with the soil so we decided to put it to good use.

Below are the Before and After photographs and as you can see we retrieved a lot of stone.

I am sure you can agree the area looks much better now and with the drain cleared should prevent the path from flooding in the future.

Thanks to all who helped in this section.
