Avenue Park
Avenue Park
Avenue Park,a 5.4 hectare site was once part of North Stoneham Park, owned by the Fleming family. At its prime, the Park would have been over 400 acres. In 1775, Sir John Fleming engaged the services of the famous landscape architect, Lancelot "Capability" Brown to redesign the park.
The Park is home to The Stoneham War Shrine, erected in 1918 and restored in 2011 to commemorate those who served and died in the Great War of 1914-1919. Much of the parkland remains intact, and is now a haven for wildlife with its rich flower meadows, large old trees and water features. This area is now conservation grazed during part of the year.
