Land Studio in the news

Architect Projects featured our work with the Barnston Estate, one of Cheshire’s oldest family estates, on the design of a new natural burial ground.

Monument Meadow Natural Burial Ground will replace the burial ground at St Chad’s in Farndon village and will also be made available for residents of surrounding villages.

With its views across to the Welsh hills, its flowing parkland environment and its peaceful setting this will be a beautiful place for people to visit.

The environment of the natural burial ground will be kept as natural as possible so it integrates into the landscape creating a restful space that will mature over time.

Planting will be predominantly limited to native species of trees, hedging and wildflower meadow varieties.

The site is anchored with a Grade II* listed monument – a sandstone obelisk flanked by four stone lions - commemorating Roger Barnston, a military officer who died in 1857 of wounds sustained at the Siege of Lucknow in India.

Cheshire West & Chester Council has given planning permission for the project.
