Description
Abbey Green is a 6.5-hectare site steeped in history, with the origins of the original Abbey dating back to the 7th century. The Abbey was used as the royal seat in Saxon times, and later in 1066 by William the Conqueror while the Tower of London was being built. It was later demolished during the dissolution of the monasteries. The Norman church of St Margaret’s and its churchyard remain on the site, along with the 13th-century Curfew Tower. The site is recognised as having heritage merit of national importance (MOLAS 2007) and is understood to be one of the most important religious archaeological sites in Europe. A significant portion of the site is a scheduled ancient monument and the whole site falls within a Conservation Area.
The aim of the design competition is to create a high-quality vision for the whole park. This should maximise its links to the community and its potential as a site of national heritage importance, a vibrant venue for cultural events and as a prestigious town centre public open space.
The site has the potential to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the town centre, underpinning the regeneration of the area. High-quality design should reflect this and transform the site into a vibrant town centre park with the church and Abbey ruins at its core.
Design should not be solely limited to the boundaries of the park, but incorporate any necessary improvements to the surrounding infrastructure.
