St. Mary’s Church Yard /St. Anne’s Garden
Work on the development of St. Anne’s Garden continues during the coming week. Please note that the St. Anne’s Garden carpark will be closed while work is ongoing.
The aim of this development is to make the churchyard a safe and attractive space at the heart of the town for Mass goers and passers by alike, while at the same time transforming the garden and planting semi-mature trees for future generations to enjoy. Plans can be viewed in the entrance hall of St. Anne’s Resource Centre.
