St Anthony Gardens

 

One of the Pair of Entrance Gates

 

The Pool and fountain

Taken by my aunt, in 1934

The small fountain was so very simple, yet effective.

A single bulb rose spread water upwards, and on to the granite bowl.

Another layer was spread out to fall in a rough circle in the pool below.

 

The Pillar on which the Sundial was fixed

 

The Gardens make use of pieces of the

Old St Anthony’s Chapel that stood nearby.
