Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens

This Grade 1 listed Garden is a truly wonderful setting for remembering loved ones and for appreciating the beauty and sheer magnificence of nature.

Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens were designed and laid out in the 1930's by Edward White, a leading landscape architect of the day.
Sir Noel Mobbs conceived the idea of establishing the 20 acres of land as a non-denominational Memorial Garden south of St. Giles' church, which is famous for Thomas Gray's poem 'Elegy written ina Country Churchyard' and where his tomb is sited.
There were to be no buildings or monuments that would identify it as a cemetery. They were designed to be a garden, containing small gardens and plots that can be purchased as a memorial by the public.
