Letter: Garden fit for a saint
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The perspicacious proposal offered by Rowan Moore and Adam Zombory-Moldovan to turn the rubble of St Ethelburga's into a memorial garden to the victims of terrorism deserves support ('Open to the sky, with a light burning bright', 5 May). Their plan - a site including fragments of the earlier structure around an open space - is unusually appropriate; in the seventh century, St Ethelberga was herself buried in an unfinished church.
