Diary of a Country Churchyard - May
St. Mary’s Riverbank Project
We are delighted to announce details of an exciting new project for the Churchyard. The aims are: to create a new circular riverside walk which will include new tree planting schemes; develop new wildlife habitats; provide increased opportunities for visitors to learn more about nature conservation; and develop community programmes that enable local groups and schools to use the churchyard as an outdoor classroom. Central to any plans is the respecting of the character of the Churchyard as a sacred place of remembrance. The improvements proposed, in particular for the work on the paths, will enable people with disabilities and special needs to have better access around the Churchyard. The Churchyard Committee, on behalf of the PCC, is preparing a funding application to the Big Lottery Programme Community Spaces to enable this project to take place.
The May Diary display at the Library will give more details of this project including a map showing the proposed changes. An important part of the application process is to demonstrate that we have consulted widely over the plans and we would very much like to receive your comments. Cards are available in the Church and elsewhere for you to note your thoughts. You are also welcome to get in touch with Sydney Smith (874266) or David Ainge (872504).
