For those who turn up and find the park closed, this is for
you!
St. Audoen's Park, although less than 0.5 hectares in size, is
quite significant in historical terms. Located adjacent to St.
Audoen's Church (1300 A.D.), it incorporates the first stone city
wall dating from about 1100 A.D.; St. Audoen's Arch, the last
surviving entrance to the old city; and Fagan's Gate.
The City Wall was restored in 1976 as part of Architectural
Heritage Year and the park development of 1982 won a prestigious
civic award. Audoen was a 7th - century Bishop of Rouen (France)
and the nearby church named after him is reputedly one of the
oldest still used for regular religious services.
The park is closed at night, but the hours are not posted – it
is definitely open between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm.
