Environment Award
Tom Ryland Award for Conservation
Margravine Cemetery
Nomination for a Tom Ryland Award for Conservation, 2026.
Margravine Cemetery Wall at the top end of Margravine Gardens, is opposite the Grade II listed station. Nominated by a resident who says: “The wall is on a slope and on a curve, and is over 26m long and on the street 2-3m high above pavement, while in the cemetery it varies between over 4m high to 2m high above ground level. We, Friends of Margavine Cemetery, noticed it was cracking at the top and leaning out in 2024, and notified the council, who then fenced off the footway in front. We persuaded them to get the advice of the conservation engineer, advising on the listed Building at Risk structures in the cemetery. The council agreed to have contractors take down the wall by hand and then rebuild it in lime mortar, reusing saved bricks and matching new bricks. The works of demolition took place in Spring 2025, and the wall was rebuilt in July-September 2025. To most people the wall now looks as it did before which is a great credit to all concerned.”

3. On the same development – the public clock which is sadly way too high up to be a street clock – is it an ego trip which can only be seen from afar?
