In 2012 Sally called us at Leedam Natural Burials on behalf of her mother Dorothy:
“We own a lovely field in rolling countryside with excellent views towards the Chiltern Hills in the middle of Buckinghamshire, which we feel would be an excellent site for a natural burial ground...”
Soon afterwards, I had the pleasure of meeting Sally and Dorothy at Meadle and after a meeting around the farmhouse kitchen table (and a lively introduction to the peacocks, dogs and cats), we visited ‘Long Furlong’ as the meadow is known, for the first time. I could immediately see why this spot had been chosen. The gently rising ground of the meadow has long-ranging views across the flatlands of Aylesbury Vale and fine views of the Chiltern escarpment. It had that special something that every natural burial ground needs. A sense of place; a reason to be there.
Dorothy Brock and her daughter Sally impressed me too. The land has been in their family for generations and they are, to use a farming term, hefted to the land. Straight-talking, no-nonsense, warm and enthusiastic, we shook hands that afternoon and began to make things happen.
