Take a Stand for Walpole Park

​

The National Lottery Heritage Fund played a major role in enabling Pitzhanger Manor's restoration, and consequently how our park looks today.  The project brought together specialist architects, conservation professionals, craftspeople and heritage experts.

Having Troubadour Theatre's Tent in Walpole Park could cause major harm to the work that has been done, and we feel it would be good to let them know what's going on.  They might have something to say about it!

FYI, here's a brief synopsis of the work that was included in the funding:

 

• Repair and conservation of lawn, gardens, serpentine (sunken garden), inner and wider park;

• conservation of listed park structures,

• conservation and replanting of Kitchen garden as community training project, with facilities for shelter and storage, conservation and replanting of Regency shrubbery walk;

• conservation and repair of fishpond;

• tree relocation and planting;

• new herbaceous and shrub planting;

• repairs to 2 entrances, some boundaries, resurface some paths;

• remove inappropriately sited and poor quality park facilities, reinstate and make new provision of WCs/kiosk and storage/mess room facilites,

• informal classroom space in yard, new signage and interpretation giving insights into the stories and heritage of the park throughout
