Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens

Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens This Grade 1 listed Garden is a truly wonderful setting for remembering loved ones and for appreciating the beauty and sheer magnificence of nature.

Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens were designed and laid out in the 1930's by Edward White, a leading landscape architect of the day. Sir Noel Mobbs conceived the idea of establishing the 20 acres of land as a non-denominational Memorial Garden south of St. Giles' church, which is famous for Thomas Gray's poem 'Elegy written ina Country Churchyard' and where his tomb is sited. There were to be no build

ings or monuments that would identify it as a cemetery. They were designed to be a garden, containing small gardens and plots that can be purchased as a memorial by the public.

It was a pleasure welcoming Councillor David Moore for the Farnhams & Stoke Poges to the gardens and updating him on some of our plans for this wonderful place. Thank you for your support!

Great meeting today despite the heat at the Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens chatting with Head Gardener Franzi, the team and the Friends of the Memorial Gardens.

I welcome the exciting plans that are underway for the Gardens with fresh funding from Buckinghamshire Council for a £450,000 open museum as well as refurbishment to the colonnades and other exciting plans which I look forward to supporting.

Not to mention we are now in the run up to the 100 year anniversary of the gardens after they turned 90 last year!

Huge thank you to Franzi, the team, residents and all the Friends of the Gardens who keep this special gem alive.
