Memorials

Requests suspended

For the time being all new requests for memorial benches at Brixworth and Daventry Country Parks, or on the Brampton Valley Way will be suspended while we update our Memorialisation Policy.

Our commemorative items give the chance to commemorate a person or event, or celebrate a major milestone in life at one of our much-loved parks.

Tree planting

We can offer a variety of native trees to be planted at Daventry Country Park or Borough Hill. Tree memorials are only available between November and March.

Bequests and donations

We can accept donations or bequests towards the general betterment of a particular country park and would discuss with you how this money could be used.

A bequest or donation could make your loved one not only a part of the park’s history, but also part of its future.

Whether £10 or £10,000, all donations will be used to make a park a better place; for example, by conserving wildlife habitats, or contributing towards new facilities.
