We are compiling this directory of flowery burial grounds from across the UK, which we would recommend visiting if you are looking for a well managed site rich in wildlife and heritage. Burial grounds can have a rich array of plants, animals and fungi, and may contain the only surviving area of flower-rich grassland in a parish. All the sites listed here contain this habitat. To see the flowers at their best, late May to mid or end of July is usually the most suitable time to visit. However, do contact the site managers for more specific timings before you visit if this is important to you.
This churchyard has been managed for its botanical diversity since 1996. The different habitats within the churchyard attract many different species of wildlife between 2015 and 2018 over 200 species of plants, invertebrates, mammals and birds have been recorded here. The site is a sensitively managed mix of long and short areas and contains gems such as betony, field scabious, lady’s bedstraw and St John’s Wort.
