As Seen on ITV's This Morning ~ Donating a 2 Seat Extra Heavy Great Maytham Bench
Wealden Benches was delighted to donate one of our flagship pieces, the 2 seat Extra Heavy Great Maytham Garden Bench, for a spectacular "Front Garden Facelift" segment on ITV's This Morning.
Presented by David Domoney, the surprise garden makeover for a viewer named Susan featured our stunning teak bench, personalised with an engraved image of her late grandparents, Rose and Frank. The beautiful donation served as the perfect place for Susan and her mother to sit and reflect on the transformed garden, built in honour of her grandparents.
This project perfectly demonstrates The Wealden Bench Difference ~ Personalisation, Expertise and Trust. Our high quality, durable benches are designed to be enjoyed for generations.

The Rudyard Kipling Statue Bench ~ Supplied by Wealden Benches
Wealden Benches in History ~ The Commissioned Garden Bench Seat for the Rudyard Kipling Statue
For lovers of literature and quality craftsmanship, there is a powerful story behind one of East Sussex’s most popular landmarks. The life size bronze statue of renowned author Rudyard Kipling in Burwash sits on a garden bench, a poignant and interactive tribute to the Nobel Prize winner. What many visitors do not realise is that the original bench used for the bronze casting was supplied by Wealden Benches.
In 2019, we were commissioned to provide the exact bench model, our Great Maytham Extra Heavy, upon which the life size figure of Kipling was mounted. The quality and traditional design of our furniture was chosen to become a permanent part of this significant piece of public art, ensuring a piece of Wealden Benches history is forever preserved in bronze.
