The hens will be looked after by volunteers who have helped to create the area at the Glebe Field next to St Andrew’s Church in Old Church Road.

The project has seen the former donkey field cleared and new trees planted, as well as new pathways created and new benches installed.

It is hoped the area will become somewhere peaceful and attractive for people to visit.
