Interment and remembrance
The garden was established for the interment of ashes of deceased parishioners and their families, for approved memorial plaques when remains are interred elsewhere, and as a garden for prayer and contemplation.
It was established through a bequest from Miss Marjory Godet, designed by architect John Twopenny and dedicated by the Archbishop of York, the Most Reverend Dr David Hope, on 7 June 1998.
Access
The garden is open during church opening hours through the north-eastern porch, or through the outside gate by arrangement.
Memorial plaques
Design, wording and placement are governed by the Select Vestry. Reservations may allow relatives’ plaques to be placed together.
Memorial Book
The Memorial Book records the names of those whose remains are interred in the garden.
A quiet and respectful place
Eating, drinking and smoking are not permitted. Children must remain under close adult supervision. Private floral tributes are not placed in the garden, and plants must not be picked.
We will guide you through the arrangements
