Thomas Gardens, Tring

Image: © Rob Farrow Taken: 10 Dec 2017

Thomas Gardens, and the smaller, newer, King Edward Gardens a little further south-west down Mortimer Hill, are so recent that neither yet appear on any online maps [as at December 2017] They are built on the site of several former houses and their gardens, which were purchased, demolished, and the land built on by Shanly Homes in 2016/2017. I believe Thomas Gardens is named after a former headmaster of the nearby Tring School, whereas King Edward Gardens are named after King Edward II (reigned 1307-1327) who was king when Tring gained its charter in 1315 (see https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/13624 )
