He studied physics at Oxford University and went on to pursue his graduate studies at Cambridge.

In his early twenties he was diagnosed as having MND.

He held Newton’s chair as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics from 1979-2009.

He is currently Director of Research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

He is theauthor of many books, and a prolific contributor to all areas of gravitational physics, in particular the origin and evolution of the universe.

Best known for his work on Black Holes and for his popular best-seller, ‘A Brief History of Time’. In 2006 he was awarded the Copley Medal and in 2009, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Without the kind and generous support of our sponsor Brewin Dolphin the garden would never have come to life.
We would like to thank them for both their vision and generosity in helping raise awareness of such a devastating disease.
