GHASTLY GAZEBO

Four Square the Priory stands parked proudly prime
As right today as in conception’s year.
Clean classic confident of time’s defeat
Renewed yet redolent of Heritage.
Though time’s soft touch erodes, good stone endures;
The Priory wearing well its centuries
And fronting-sward, in pride, brooks no affront
As each the other pays mute compliment.
Yet is this idyll now come under threat
A plastic tea house – single use – then binned
Roundly obscene – roundly to be condemned;
Incongruous adjunct to that prior art.
Oh Powers that Be: Awake and be aware!
We plead in Reigate’s name: “Don’t put it there!”

NAFF CAFF?

The 'teahouse of the plastic loon'

Is lovely cos it rhymes with spoon.

I think your phrase is so inspired

Amusing young - plus old/retired!

If they can build a silly caff

Then we of course can say it's naff.

April 2006: £4.2 million of Lottery money approved for Reigate Priory Park:

"... those elements of the gardens which do not contribute to a more coherent whole should be removed."
