Conservation

The village Conservation Area includes part of the river frontage, the Walled Garden, Sunbury Park and much more.

The unusual and long established standard Wisteria used to grow in the garden of Weir View, an early 19th century house, which partly collapsed into the river before being demolished in 1962. The garden of the house was absorbed into Kings Lawn.

The Lendy Memorial was erected in 1895 in memory of the Lendy brothers, both Captains in the Army, who died in West Africa in 1894. The memorial was originally a drinking fountain which stood on Kings Lawn. It was damaged by a bomb in the Second World War and moved for a period to Benwell House before being relocated in its present position in the Walled Garden.
