We have
planted about 500 trees in one of our fields. Paths have
been cut through the natural grasses along with wild
flowers, and a restored statue of
Our Lady has
been re-sited at the end of an avenue of hornbeams. There
are also
ten
sturdy oak benches in place which various people helped
to fund.
Much of the
Matt's Wood development has been paid for
by a friend of the community in memory of her son, Matt
- hence the name. We are grateful to all who have helped
to create this lovely environment. It is already a place
of beauty and peace - people are beginning to use it for
quiet walks. It is our hope that it will continue to
grow and be used as a peaceful, reflective place.
