Lincoln Cathedral says 35 of its plants worth £700 were taken from its grounds on Sunday night.
By Pritti Mistry & Scott DaltonThirty-five rose bushes planted in memory of the late Duke of Edinburgh have been stolen from the grounds of Lincoln Cathedral.
Michael Graves, from Lincoln Cathedral, said staff were "shocked and upset" the plants, which were worth £700 in total, had been taken overnight on Sunday. He said they were planted in September to honour the duke, who died in 2021 - nine weeks before his 100th birthday.Michael Graves said the Duke of Edinburgh roses were planted to bring the grounds "back to life"Mr Graves, acting clerk of works at the cathedral, said staff were left "bemused" when they discovered the following morning the rose bushes had disappeared from the East Green area of the grounds.
"It's been looking really bad and drab because of the chafer grub damage and the roses, as well as some wildflowers we've planted, was part of a way just to bring this little area back to life again."A lot of time and effort had gone into putting these bushes in and caring for them... [so it] is just upsetting really for everybody."This Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser. Please enable Javascript or try a different browser.
