THE CIVIC JUBILEE GARDEN at THE OLD COURTHOUSE

Background

The Battle Civic Association originally laid out this garden in 1977 to acknowledge the Silver Jubilee of H M the Queen. It mainly consisted of heathers, azaleas and dwarf rhododendrons and has become a landmark entry to Battle from the North.

The property in which the garden is sited belonged to ESCC until earlier this year when it was sold into private hands. The garden used to be maintained by BTC staff but this service ended some years ago. After many years of semi neglect the garden was in urgent need of attention. Following consultation last June with the new owners, Fred and Nicola Bennett, it was agreed that BB should give the garden some attention. This was very appropriate as two years ago the remaining funds of the Civic Association were passed over to BB.

The full results of the work put in by BB will not be seen for a few years as all the plants are somewhat slow growing.
