Memorial trees, benches and landscape features

We have a long-standing tradition of planting commemorative trees to honour past members of staff, students and benefactors. All trees are identified with a memorial plaque and they can be located by the identification number shown on the Memorial tree plan.

Benches, seats and landscape features have also been donated to the University.
