Church Graveyard Update

The Eco Church at St. Martin's have decided to have another year of leaving a section of the graveyard un-mowed for a few months so that it can become a small meadow, thus encouraging wildlife.

Graves at the top of Section F will not be mowed by our gardener during this time.

If you would like to maintain the grave of your loved one yourself during this time, you are of course, most welcome.

Signs will be put up in the churchyard explaining this, but due to wind and mischievousness, they may go missing! 

Our gardener and his helpers are doing a great job at keeping the graveyard and grounds looking smart. All sections have been mowed and strimmed.

We are very fortunate to have a paid gardener, few churches have one these days. You are very welcome to make a donation at the Team Office to support this, if you would like.

Aside from the graves in the meadow area, if the grave of your loved one becomes overgrown, please let us know, and we will tell the gardener.

Graves that have been fenced around by the family obviously cannot be mown by our gardener, and the same applies to graves that have ornaments or decorations on the top of the grave space. In these cases it is up to the family to maintain it.

We have, unfortunately, had a few instances of theft in the graveyard, so all grave ornaments/decorations are left at your own risk.

If you have any questions or queries about the graveyard, please get in touch.

Coronation Celebration!

We thoroughly enjoyed watching the Coronation of King Charles lll together in church recently. Watching on the big screen, we followed along with our service sheets and shared a lovely buffet lunch.

Jubilee Joy!

We had a lovely time watching the Jubilee celebrations together. We gathered in the church and watched the service on the big screen and enjoyed some delicious scones with jam and cream!
