Improving the state of the grounds in which the Walhampton Monument stands has always been listed as Phase 2 of the ‘BN250’ project, following the priority of raising awareness of Sir Harry. Our resources are scarce but, bit by bit, the ‘jungle’ has been cleared and the planned ‘parkland’ setting of the future is taking shape.
Throughout the Spring / Summer, the project has benefitted from visits by ‘Community Payback’ personnel and, on 22nd August, we were paid another visit by a team of Hampshire Conservation Volunteers. Our photograph shows the HCV team taking a well-earned lunch break in the peace and quiet and dappled shade of the Monument site, between their bonfire and one of the Hazel clumps planted in the Spring
