Wildlife

A formal cemetery with a fair number of young and mature trees, including species of cedar, common lime and horse chestnut. There is also a large specimen of eastern plane. Most grave stones are un-vegetated and surrounded by amenity grassland, dominated by perennial rye grass. The site provides habitat for nesting birds, including green woodpecker, carrion crow and house sparrow. The cemetery is so placed that it forms a `stepping stone` between Mayesbrook Park and the Mayes Brook and provides opportunities to strengthen connectivity between the two.
