Nature in our Churchyard

All Saints’ Eco Church group have compiled information about the nature found in the main churchyard which surrounds the church.

The National Biodiversity Network (NBN) makes data for churchyards available through a dedicated portal for churchyards and it contains details of the plants, snails, woodlice and millipedes that have been found in All Saints’ churchyard.  The NBN can be accessed directly via this guide. For ease of access, the records for All Saints’ were downloaded in 2024 and can be viewed in the following spreadsheets:

·        Plants

·        Snails

·        Woodlice and Millipedes
