Memorial Garden

The parish council has created a Garden of Memory in Mickleton to celebrate those people from the village who gave their lives in service of their country during the two World Wars.

The garden is located on parish council-owned land in the triangle behind the church car park and the churchyard, and includes a monument with the names of the fallen.

The garden is open to everyone, and, in addition to the memorial, the garden has been planted with a mixture of fruit trees. The large part of the garden will be allowed to grow throughout the summer as a wilding project and cut in September before the autumn.

Two benches have been placed in the garden and we are hoping that this area can become a place to encourage and allow wildlife to flourish in this habitat.

This garden, in a beautiful setting, will provide a memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifice while providing a perfect location for a few minutes of peace and quiet in the centre of our wonderful village.
