Donors
The gardens arose from a public campaign at the end of the twentieth century, were the subject of an archaeological dig on the TV programme Time Team and were opened in 2001. The East Cambridgeshire District Council provided and maintain the gardens. They received a large number of private donations and dedicated items listed here with the support of the Friends Of Jubilee Gardens Ely.
We are very grateful to all donors and sponsors of the content of the Jubilee Gardens.
If you find any corrections are needed to the donor information then please contact the Friends using the facility on the 'Contact us' page.
