The side wall was pushed in, onto the steps in August 2016 The back was was pushed down and you can see what remains of the smashed lion. We're thinking, maybe a nice bench in there to set things off? Looking a lot better in the spring sunshine!

The Walls, Lions, Urn and Steps at the rear of the formal gardens in Nonsuch Park have been repaired in partnership with Epsom & Ewell Borough Council. These were severely damaged by vandals in 2016 and using funds provided by Friends of Nonsuch, they are finally back in use.
