Following a suggestion and funding raising from a local resident, the Parish Council is pleased to be able to support a COVID Memorial to be situated on the Ionides Trust land in the centre of Buxted. The local resident raised nearly £500, and together with funds from Ionides Trust, three cherry trees will be planted alongside the existing cherry trees on site together with a reflection bench. The trees and bench have been ordered and it is hoped to be able to complete the project in the autumn. Please see the attached plan of the site.”
