The Polish Church Garden

Tucked away in a corner of Whitchurch there is a memorial garden, reminding us that there was a refugee camp in the village after the second world war and that the refugees, mainly Poles, built a church here.

There was a project to rejuvenate the garden and create a memorial area for the church which received Heritage Funding.

Here is some background information about the garden:-

• Anna recalls her life in the refugee community
• Peter talks about the history of the camp 
• Andrew describes the background history of the refugees

Where is the Garden?

It is situated off Manor Road, on the north side of the houses, past the the Village Hall.
