About The Hey Chapel
The main feature of the garden is a large very mature Ash tree which lies at the highest point of Wardy hill at about 9m above sea level on an ‘island’ of Kimmeridge Clay surrounded by fenland peat. Ely Cathedral is just visible over the fields beyond the nearby ‘island’ settlement of Coveney.
From the Ash Tree, the garden slopes very gently down between adjacent neighbouring gardens over a length of about 60 metres to the rear of the old Wesleyan Chapel. It is made up of four distinct spaces as follows:
– A wild area under the Ash Tree, gives way to vegetables on raised beds, a fan trained fig and
two small fruit trees.
– Two wildlife ponds, interconnected by decking and a central path bordered by formal box
under a rose arbour
– A mature horse-chestnut tree, shading a patio area with other small trees, shrubs and a
greenhouse with a young grapevine
– A small cottage garden adjacent to the Chapel, bordered by roses, shrubs and
informal hedging.
