The Joy Mead Gardens Rules from 1922When the Joy Mead Gardens were initially created by the Agnew family in 1922, they published a set of rules which were to be adhered to by all users of the gardens. As owners of the gardens, they would have expected these rules to be obeyed and respected, and transgression would have had dire implications as the Agnews had considerable standing in the local community. We would like to think they are as relevant today as they were then, and so here they are: “JOY MEAD“ FARTHINGSTONE in the county of Northampton RECREATION GROUND “JOY MEAD” The Recreation Grounds Act 1859.
