Who we are
In December 1970, Jocelyn Wrightson bequeathed a parcel of land for use as allotments, at the corner where Bimport descends into St John's Hill. This extraordinary act of generosity left us with 14 half allotments with fabulous soil in the crown of our historic hilltop town.
We are a charitable trust. For the most part, running costs are covered by rents received.
