Description
Wildlife
As in many cemeteries, a lot of the planted trees here are conifers and evergreens including holly, yew and deodar cedar. Several mature Indian bean-trees provide additional interest. The grassland between the graves is frequently mown but still supports common wildflowers such as selfheal, yarrow and oxeye daisy. In places where the soil is more acidic, different plants occur dominated by common bent, red fescue and cat's-ear. The mature trees on the site provide good habitat for birds in the area.Facilities
