A quiet corner in a picturesque village in Cornwall has been transformed into a garden of remembrance, with an award from Valencia Communities Fund.
Prior to the new garden being built, access to the previous memorial area was up a steep incline across a rough path; unsuitable for most visitors. The new memorial wall at Hessenford Church allows plaques to be displayed in an area with better access into the steep graveyard, being located lower down the path.
The addition of seating in the garden provides a place for people to sit, rest and remember their loved ones.
Now closed to burials, the new area, which has also had its path upgraded with a much-improved surface, is the only part of the graveyard where cremated remains may be laid to rest, making the new garden an essential addition to the church.
