St Andrew's Church is the owner of two areas of land in the town centre, the Gardens immediately around our church building and the graveyard behind the church which backs on to Elsee Road. Both these areas of land are officially closed graveyards, so no new interments can be made (other than ashes in our Memorial Garden). As they are closed they are now maintained by Rugby Borough Council who are responsible for their upkeep. However as landowners we are aware of our responsibility to support RBC in enabling the land to be used for the benefit of local residents and visitors. To that end we are working on two projects in partnership: the first is described below:

St Andrew's Gardens is a much loved and well used green space at the heart of Rugby Town. It's a key venue for the Rugby Bike Fest, Festival of Culture, and the Food Festival all of which are rapidly growing in success. We want to invest in the gardens to provide more scope for events, plus provide bespoke outdoor space for new initiatives and community projects. The gardens deserve a new lease of life - St Andrew's Gardens a space for everyone will do just that, transforming the space through new bee friendly planting specimens, creating a peaceful and tranquil space for all to enjoy. At the Heart will commission a new public art work which will zone the play and performance space from the peaceful area of the memorial garden. You can pledge to have a loved one memorialised and remembered in this special design.
