We were fortunate to be able to carry out a survey of flora in the cemetery shortly after we started up our restoration work. This would be a point in time benchmark of the variety of species contained within this green space. Many thanks to Audrey Compton and John Whetman who completed this survey for us on 3rd August 2017.
With hindsight we should have photographed every observation but that didn’t happen. We are taking every opportunity now to photograph plants as we find them and will be including those here (Click on photos to see larger images).
The survey obviously covered only those signs of flowers during late summer. There are others which can be observed at other times of the year and these have been added into this survey with separate annotation.
