Jellicoe Water Gardens, Hemel Hempstead

The Jellicoe Water Gardens, opened in 1962, are of national importance. Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe (1900 - 1996) was one of the foremost landscape architects of the 20th Century and this is now a unique example of his work. The gardens are under restoration, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Big Lottery and Dacorum Borough Council.

This site gathers recollections, stories and photographs about the Water Gardens. You can listen to people telling their stories or download the transcripts.
