As part of the Centenary Year of Graves Park, this history talk will bring the story of the park to life.
About this Event

This new illustrated presentation of the story of Grave Park will be building on a recently published leaflet marking the centenary. The anniversary will also be marked over the weekend of 30th–31st May, with a series of public events taking place in the park itself.

The talk will explore the park’s earlier identity as Norton Park, tracing its transformation over time. It will delve into the expansion of the landscape through the various parcels of land acquired by JGG during the 20th century, before reflecting on how the park has been enjoyed and used in more recent years.

By Caroline Dewar Chair, Friends of Graves Park
