Earls Colne Heritage Museum has successfuly been awarded a £2,500 grant by Braintree District Council under the Community Gardens Scheme.  Work has already begun to upgrade the planting and install four story boards telling the history of the Atlas Works.  The work will be carried out early in 2025 commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the opening of Earls Colne Heritage Museum.  We are being assisted in this task by Braintree District Council, Oliver’s Plants and  Four Colnes Horticultural Society.

The Earls Colne Twinning Association planted a Blue Atlas Cedar tree in 2006 to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Earls Colne’s Twinning with Nonancourt in France.

A new plaque will be installed in 2005 to mark both the 50th Anniversary of the Twinning Association and the 20th Anniversary of the Earls Colne Heritage Museum.

The Atlas Gardens will become part of a future Earls Colne Village Heritage Trail
