time consuming work?

Stone work does not always have to be time consuming and therefore expensive. This arrangement of stones and plants took about 30 minutes to build and plant up. It will of course take some years to develop into a mature part of the garden. So patience is still needed.

Change of Use!

This dry stone wall built by Duncan Haddow was to be a retaining wall but the owner of the garden decided not to fill in the back. It then became a bridge!

If you look closely you can see a stone used as a spout for water to run through. This stone (found buried in the garden) matches some surviving 18th century open drains in the street.
