Newsflash:  

The History of Ashton Gardens.

An important seminar on Saturday 25 June 2011 to present the results of painstaking research into the history of St Georges Gardens and Ashton Gardens.

Follow this link for more details of the seminar.

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 has been sought by our action to have 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.
