Garden of Remembrance

º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ has set aside a walled garden near the Edward Herbert Building as a place where people who have passed away can be remembered. It has been developed as a Garden of Remembrance with the support of the University, students, and staff and with donations from alumni and friends.

It has been designed to offer a peaceful and reflective atmosphere. There are benches to allow people to sit and remember. You can also have a plaque in memory of a loved one.

If you wish to make a donation in support of the upkeep of the Garden of Remembrance, you can do so through our donation form, and you can make a donation in memory of a loved one, too.
