Description
Wildlife
The sward contains an abundance of common wildflowers such as daisy, autumn hawkbit, cat's-ear, yarrow and clovers. Fungi are also abundant in the grassland. A number of graves around the chapel are quite old and have been colonised by stonecrops, fleabane and mosses. The site contains good numbers of mature trees, including rows of common lime and horse chestnut. Scrub of hazel, hawthorn, elm and cherry occurs adjacent to the allotment gardens and the field to the south.Facilities
