Bishops Park

It is listed Grade II on the register of parks and gardens of special historic interest maintained by English Heritage.

[citation needed] In 1894 the Ecclesiastical Commissioners sold Fulham Vestry, the house of Pryors Bank (then called Vine Cottage) and its gardens.

They contain four 1940s sculptures titled Adoration, Protection, Grief and Leda, presented in 1953 by sculptor James Wedgwood as a commemoration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

[citation needed] A further sculpture, Affection, a mother and child by Joseph Hermon Cawthra, was added in 1963;[2] both sculptors had studios in the area.

[3][4] After a successful lottery funding bid in February 2011, the park underwent a major restoration project, when it lost its Victorian bandstand, with almost the entire site being modernised.
