Churchyard Spring Clean
Thank you to everyone who helps to keep our churchyard neat and tidy throughout the year and are helping to promote the churchyard as a refuge for wildlife and to improve biodiversity.
It is now time for our annual “Spring Clean” and we would be very grateful if those who tend their loved one’s graves could ensure that faded silk flowers, old Christmas wreaths and decorations, and dead flowers arrangements, together with glass jars and vases, could be removed before the end of May.
Any items left after this date will be cleared by volunteers in order that the graveyard complies with the Diocesan Churchyard Regulations (a copy of which is displayed in the Church Porch, or can be downloaded over 4 pages below), any items removed will be left in a box in the porch until the end of June, so that family may collect these, after which these may be disposed of.
If you have any difficulty in tidying a grave or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for helping keep our churchyard a special place for all.
The Revd Mark Woodrow
Rector
