Welcome

We are the Supporters of Ashton Gardens,  a voluntary not-for-profit,  membership-based,  group dedicated to protecting preserving and enhancing Ashton Gardens in Saint Annes on the Sea, Lancashire, England.

Our members come from a wide range of locations - not just in St Annes, but throughout the world.  We are a friendly and welcoming group, sharing a common aim.   Membership is open to all.

Lord Ashton of Lancaster paid for the Ashton Gardens as a gift for the people of Saint Anne's, and they are named in his honour. They are within a conservation area and listed in the Grade II division of the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.  More recently additional protection was accorded when our action had them designated as charity land.

They retain most of their original features and were designed by F Harrison of  St. Annes, and Pulham and Sons of London in the Edwardian period from 1914 to 1916. They are  representative  of their period, and widely cherished by the local community.
