The gardens
The gardens
After almost five years of raising funds locally and from the Big Lottery Fund, the garden in Chichele College has been transformed to make it resemble a medieval Cloister Garth.
One of the purposes of rejuvenating this area is to create a quiet area for rest and relaxation, but another is to bring the College to life and for the local community, young and old, to use the building and garden as a special feature of the town.
The gardens are open all year round, and all events are free of charge.
