Saffron Walden - Cemetery (Essex) |
A visit to the cemetery in Radwinter Road, Saffron Walden will reveal three fine Wellingtonia. If you have the opportunity to visit the town, take time to have a wander in the cemetery, then have a relaxing stroll around the town - there is plenty to see in this historic place.
You may also find the grass maze if you walk across the park. A sign beside it proudly boasts it to be "The largest publicy-owned turf cut maze in England". Its earliest date is unknown, but 15 shillings was paid in 1699 for re-cutting this 35 meter diameter maze. |
