The Medieval Hall Courtyard Garden
 is a little oasis just off the top of Stroud High Street in Swan Lane, that has been enjoyed by the public for more than 30 years. Then in May 2014 a planning application was made to enclose the garden with a 5' tall rendered breeze block wall.

The application was withdrawn but owners Stroud Preservation Trust now say that they are unable to ensure that the garden remains open to the public.

We believe that the only way to protect this valuable open space is to register it as a Town Green - see The Full Story for more details.
