Octagon Churchyard – assisting with the rejuvenation of the graveyard to pocket park

April 7, 2022

The Wisbech Society assisted the Friends of the Octagon Church with a grant to enable them to complete the pathway around the restored graveyard.

Volunteers have cleared the graveyard and turned it into a Pocket Park. Public access will be available a number of times during the year.

You can find out more about the project and their stunning journey from overgrown scrub to haven for animals and plants in the centre of Wisbech on their Facebook page.
