SAINT AUDOEN'S PUBLIC PARK ALSO SPELLED AS AUDEON'S

This park was closed to the public for a number of years but it was reopened last year [March 2019].

I was surprised to learn that the park is fairly recent as it first opened in the 1980s and it also surprised me to learn that the church is still active.

The main set of steps leads to a new forecourt area in front of the West Door of St Audoen’s Church. A number of archaeological features, uncovered by the works, have been incorporated into the paths through the park including stone setts of a former laneway that ran through the area called Keysers Lane, medieval cobbles and some Georgian-era paving tiles.

The park now includes a series of interactive sound-based installations for children, as well as a new memorial water feature, recalling the children who lost their lives during the Easter Rising 1916.

St. Audoen's Park is significant in historical terms. Located adjacent to St. Audoen's Church (1300 A.D.), it incorporates the first stone city wall dating from about 1100 A.D.; St. Audoen's Arch, the last surviving entrance to the old city; and Fagan's Gate.

The City Wall was restored in 1976 as part of Architectural Heritage Year and the park development of 1982 won a prestigious civic award. Audoen was a 7th - century Bishop of Rouen (France) and the nearby church named after him is reputedly one of the oldest still used for regular religious services.
