Local Wildlife Site

Wildlife

The gardens have a wide variety of trees, including several mature London planes and common limes, trees with biblical associations such as Judas tree, fruit trees ands trees with strong visual character, such as maidenhair tree and tulip tree. There are large areas of shrubbery, offering cover and a berry source for birds, although formal management results in much bare ground below the shrubs. The garden has extensive lawns and attractive flowerbeds and rose gardens. There are a few tombstones, but these are generally bare except for a few patches of mosses and lichens. Woodpigeons and blackbirds nest in the garden, while blue tits and robins may nest here. Other birds seen regularly include great tit and kestrel.
