Description
Wildlife
This small churchyard has reasonably diverse grassland with cat's-ear, oxeye daisy, selfheal and an abundance of cuckooflower. Biting stonecrop and hard shield-fern grow on some of the graves. The latter is very rare in London, but was perhaps planted here. A narrow strip of sycamore woodland runs along one edge and there are two fine avenues of yew. The site is of value to foraging birds.Facilities
