About this outing

The Memorial Gardens at St James and St Basil’s Church in Fenham offer a quiet place to spend time and reflect. The church describes space for picnics, benches given in memory of local people, and tables and chairs put out during the summer months. The gardens are privately owned and maintained for the local community by volunteers and a gardener. They are not a burial ground, although there is a small area for ashes. Check with the church about access when planning your visit; occasional markets and special activities have their own arrangements.
