Site species count:
The Grade II* church of St Thomas Becket is on a hilltop surrounded by the churchyard. It was built in the 11th century by a Saxon King named Tochi, after which the village is named. The lower tower is believed to be pre-conquest and the remainder is early Norman. The rest of the church dates from the 14th century.
Churchyards can turn up lots of wildlife. The combination of mature trees, hedges and relatively unimproved grassland provide varied habitats and the gravestones also support many mosses and lichens.
Tugby churchyard is relatively unexplored so more records are needed!
