The Churchyard

Part of the churchyard is a wild flower conservation area, left largely unmown during the summer months. Over 40 species of native plants have been found here.

The churchyard has been extended to allow burials to continue here for the foreseeable future. At the moment it's a beautiful wildflower meadow.
