We take great pride in the peace and tranquillity of our gardens and grounds here at St Michael’s.

Now, anyone visiting us has the chance to enjoy the beautiful views from St Michael’s thanks to a very special donation.

In a world first, The Quiet Garden Movement has donated a beautiful bench to us, which has been placed overlooking the beautiful Herefordshire countryside on our doorstep.

The idea came about because Sarah, the co-ordinator and administrator with The Quiet Garden Movement, knew one of our Complementary Therapists.

Patrick Swan, a trustee of the Movement came up with the idea of us donating a bench to a hospital or hospice – St Michael’s immediately came to mind. This is a new initiative for us and we hope that we can provide more seating in other spaces. A special thanks to the congregation at Christ Church Cathedral Oxford who donated generously towards the cost of the bench”
