Gardens of Remembrance

Each year at the start of the Poppy Appeal, the blessing of a Garden of Remembrance takes place at the Cartland Memorial just inside the main gates to the Abbey and a Garden of Remembrance is also situated in the grounds of the Methodist Church adjacent to The Cross.

If you do not wish to negotiate the busy roads at The Cross, you have the option to place a remembrance cross or lay a private wreath at the in either of these locations.

A Dedication Service, with local veteran association Standards in attendance, was held at the Cartland Memorial on 1100 on Monday 25th October.  

Those attending, gathered just inside the Abbey Gates for 1050.
