COVID-19 Reflection Tree

Frampton Cotterell Parish Council is proud to unveil our COVID-19 Reflection Tree at Centenary Field. This tree represents the strength of our community during the pandemic, and stands as a memorial to loved ones lost.

The idea for this memorial came from one of our parishioners, Theresa (pictured below), who contacted the Parish Council to request that we install a pandemic reflection tree. We gladly agreed.South Gloucestershire Council provided us with the oak tree, and Drew’s Yard kindly donated the custom-built tree guard. Our Maintenance Officer has also installed a plaque in memory of Theresa’s loved one, sadly lost during the pandemic.

There is a bench situated near to the Reflection Tree to provide a quiet spot where people can sit and reflect.

If you would like a plaque installed on the Reflection Tree, whether to memorialise a lost loved one or simply to share your own reflections on the pandemic, please contact us on 01454 864442 or via email on nature@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk for more information.

Two women, one with shoulder-length dark hair, one with short blonde hair, both wearing sunglasses, stand in front of a young oak tree. The oak tree is surrounded by bronze-coloured metal railings. These railings are about a foot higher than the women's heads. There are two small plaques attached to the railings.
