June

The end of June approaches and it is hard to believe, the month has flown by. May was ‘no mow May’ and so this month saw the grass cut back in most of the Churchyard leaving a strip down the RH side of the path where we have been clearing areas and planting. Some of the plants struggled at first in what has been a very dry month but monitoring and watering has seen them through and they have established quite well. A meeting earlier this month on Jubilee weekend with a local historian Paul was most interesting and informative. Areas discussed were the history of the church building itself and interesting gravestones in the Churchyard. Paul has very kindly written a brief history of these and we will be putting together an information sheet on these to be available from the church building and ultimately on line as well. We are extremely grateful for his input on this. I should add that work continues in the lower churchyard which is looking fantastic at the moment to clear away years of accumulated cuttings and rubbish and that is going well.
