Churchyard
Site species count:
The churchyard of St Mary the Virgin Church is central to the village and provides the setting for the prominent grade 2 listed church on the hilltop. The trees around the churchyard perimeter offer a sense of seclusion, although the adjacent A607 is an intrusion on the tranquil setting. The churchyard provides a central focus for a village divided by the busy road. It is a valued community and heritage space with good accessibility and visibility. The site could be enhanced to improve ecological value, in order to become multi-functional in addition to being an important heritage space.
