Description
The Maze looking out on to Front Garden
The Pavement Maze, based on the turf maze at Hilton (inspired in turn, by a floor at Chartres Cathedral) was laid in the driveway by Robin in 1978, its purpose was, in part, to break up the large expanse of gravel.
A compass detailing annual rainfall and height above sea level, and inscribed with Sybil and Robin's initials, was installed at the centre of the maze in 1979.
