New Extended Garden of Remembrance

The Garden of Remembrance was formally opened by the Bishop of Sheffield on 14th September 2025.

 The wild flower gardens are established and the planting is complete, as the seasons unfold the garden will flourish, with the planting design giving us endless displays of plants shrubs and grasses. Each of the trees has an up-lighter that provides illumination at night, and the benches where appropriate have backrests. It is our intention to not cut the wild flower gardens as this will destroy the grasses and plants, but to make the gardens look cared for we will mow a strip across the front edge of each area and a larger strip across the middle of the old garden of remembrance to allow access to lay flowers near the stone monument.
