Christchurch Greyfriars Church Garden
The site of the Franciscan church of Greyfriars was established in 1225. Numerous well-known people, including four queens, were buried in the old church, which was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. A new church, designed by Wren, was completed in 1704. In 1940, incendiary bombs destroyed the body of the Wren church, and only the west tower now stands. The 1989 rose garden reflects the floor plan of the original church with box-edged beds representing the original position of the pews. An avenue of trees marks the former nave.
This lovely garden is located on the site of the Franciscan Church of Greyfriars. Clematis and climbing roses weave their way up 10 tall wooden towers which represent the pillars that once held the roof.
