The garden is being constructed in phases and this was phase 1. Designed by Sally Hopkinson and built in 2006 the garden uses a combination of reclaimed York stone (originally from Northampton magistrates court) and cobble ribbons to reflect the period. Water  bubbling in the Haddonstone font and the strong formal planting complete the picture
