Coronation bench for King Charles III
Burton-in-Kendal Parish Council Installs ‘C-shaped bench
"In celebration of the Coronation of King Charles III – a seat for conversation, connection, and community"
Burton-in-Kendal Parish Council has installed a distinctive C-shaped bench outside Burton Morewood School, marking the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
The new installation serves not only to commemorate the coronation but also as an invitation for community conversation.
“The shape naturally brings people together—perfect for a chat, a rest during a walk, or simply enjoying the surroundings.”
Its design encourages conversation by allowing people to face one another, promoting connection and interaction.
We really hope villagers of all ages will make use of it, It’s a small addition, but one that we hope will bring moments of enjoyment and togetherness to our community.
The Parish Council welcomes feedback from residents as well as any suggestions for other improvements to benefit the Community. Please drop us a message either on our Facebook Page or by email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
As well as installing the new bench we are pleased to say the broken benches located at Boon Town and Station Lane have been replaced with brand new ones.
The Parish Council would like to thank Steve Mealor for doing the hard work and fellow Councillors and helpers assisting in the placement of the benches.
