All Hallows Guild: Statuary and Plaques on the Grounds
In 1998, garden docent Nancy E. Symington researched and wrote a description of the 43 plaques, artifacts, statues and fountains on the grounds of Washington National Cathedral at that time. A wealth of information is contained in her work. Originally designed as a tool for use by garden docents, her notebook is available now for all interested persons to read or download. Mrs. Symington is a member of All Hallows Guild Garden Committee and an associate member of AHG Board of Governors. Because the notebook contains Mrs. Symington’s photographs, it has been divided into five parts for easier access and printing. An explanation of material found in each part follows:
- Part 1: Norman Arch to the Norman Court; Bishop’s Lawn
- Part 2: Bishop’s Garden
- Part 3: Bishop’s Garden; along Pilgrim Road; Cathedral College Garth; North Cathedral Garth
- Part 4: West Front of Cathedral; Herb Cottage; Peace Cross; Landmark Sundial
- Part 5: Explanatory Notes, Addenda and Acknowledgements
