Description
Wildlife
This attractive, well-established churchyard has good tree and shrub cover, including a tiny fragment of hornbeam woodland - probably relict ancient woodland. This provides habitat for birds and other animals. Kestrels nest in the church tower, which is the only remaining part of the former St Mary's Church. The rest of the church was demolished in 1927.Facilities
