Lewes Priory

There are eight garden seats and five benches in Priory Park, some of which have been placed in memory of individuals and some which have been sponsored by generous donors. Three garden seats pre-date the recent project works.

Sylvia Robertson seat
Located by the south wall of the site near the Battle Monument, this seat commemorates Sylvia Lynette Robertson (1958-1993).

Roger Neeves seat
Located by the Prospect Tower this seat commenorates Roger V. J. Neeves (22 Nov 1915-18 Oct 2003).

Reg Yarrow seat
Formerly in the Herb Garden, this seat is located near the north boundary mid-way between the Prospect Tower and the Frater. It is dedicated to Reg Yarrow (1915-2000) past Mayor of Lewes and Trustee of Lewes Priory Trust.

Four garden seats were bought with funds provided by donors during the recent project works.

Hilary Black seat
Located in the Herb Garden and dedicated to the memory of the late Hilary Black who was a Town Councillor and a Trustee with a special interest in the Herb Garden. The seat was given by Lewes Town Council.

Round Table seats
Located on the north boundary, one at high level and one at low level, these two seats were given by Lewes and District Round Table.

Rotary Club seat
Located adjacent to the north boundary, this seat was given by the Rotary Club of Lewes Castle.

There is one other garden seat (so far without a sponsor) and three benches. In addition there are two curved benches in front of the Prospect Tower which have been provided for school parties.
