Forums Pilgrim's Lawn

Pilgrim's Lawn Walk to the circle of Silver Birch at the south end of the Cross Avenue, a path leads left from this circle into Pilgrim's Lawn. The Pilgrim's lawn is named after a statue standing to the north of the garden; it is a stone figure of a pilgrim leaning on a staff, a copy after Giovanni Bologna from the nineteenth century. The statue is flanked on three sides by clipped Beech hedging. The garden was the last planting carried out by the first Lord Fairhaven before his death in 1966, and is designed to balance the Temple Lawn plantings. Again the plantings are in the form of island beds, dominated by tall conifers, to give a foil to autumn colour plantings, for which the garden is intended. There is a circle of Incense Cedars surrounded by a further ring of Persian Ironwood trees that mirrors the circular temple in the Temple Lawn, at opposite ends of the secondary cross-axis of the Coronation Avenue.
