Gabriel helps children discover a pathway to poetry in slate

摘要

A new garden has been created in part of the churchyard of St James Church in Swimbridge, North Devon, reclaiming an area that had long been fenced off and derelict. Through it runs a path with stepping stones of natural slate, each bearing a word of a poem written by the local primary schoolchildren and cut into the stone by the children under the direction of stonemason and lettercutter Gabriel Hummerstone, assisted by colleague Jim Eveleigh.
