Description

This former churchyard is now managed as a small public park. Only the larger monuments have been left in place; headstones have been moved to the perimeter. Lawns, flowerbeds and shrubberies combine to make this a particularly attractive site. The garden is generally open to the public during daylight hours.

Wildlife

Mature common lime, beech, and London plane trees line the paths and boundaries. Extensive shrubberies include many insect-attracting species such as buddleia, lilac, hazel and rose. The lawns contain a number of wild flower such as lesser celandine and yarrow. A wildlife area along the east boundary of the site supports a wide variety of herbaceous plants such as common knapweed, ox-eye daisy and black horehound.
