The above species have been found in our churchyard and because of the nature of management, i.e. no herbicides or pesticides applied, probably still exist today. The best time to view the flora is in May /June when the area is a mass of yellow and white flowers with occasional splashes of blue and pink. In recent years the grass has been left uncut during this time to allow and encourage the plants to flourish and seed.
