We're turning a tired forgotten corner of the city centre into a new public square to show off one of Plymouth’s oldest buildings as part of our Mayflower 400 preparations.
The area outside the 15th Century Prysten House is to get some love and attention with plans to replace the 1970s paving with beautiful granite paving and an Elizabethan Garden pattern marked out with cobbles.
New trees will be planted and new street furniture installed.
The location is also set to be included on the Mayflower trail. It’s not just furniture and floors that are getting a makeover, flora and fauna will be putting on a show for Mayflower, thanks to volunteers from Minster Church of St Andrew’s and the Mayflower Makers.
The group plan to add even more colour in the churchyard overlooking the newly created square and they are using the minister’s magnificent Piper window as inspiration.
Work is due to get underway in the new year.
