This attractive churchyard is a pleasant blend of formal and semi-natural landscapes. Alongside Ferry Road, the grass between the graves is kept short to present a tidy appearance. Away from the road, the grass is allowed to grow longer, with a hay cut in late summer.

Description
Wildlife
A recently planted hedgerow of mainly native shrubs runs alongside Ferry Road. Wildflowers thrive on the site, including rosy garlic, honesty and wood avens. Foxgloves and sweet violets grow in the shade cast by a group of yew and lime trees. The site also supports a healthy population of the regionally scarce wild strawberry.Facilities
