St. Mary's Church has two church yards, the upper churchyard and the lower churchyard. We have been clearing up both of these churchyards for just over a year now and the difference is really showing. Although now becoming less, brambles, overgrown ivy and other weeds are often popping their heads through and you are welcome to help trim these down.
Our main project going forward is to remove ivy from and record what we can of the gravestones. We will be using a plot map and pre printed sheets to record GPS coordinates, names and inscriptions from the stones.
Please bring secateurs, gloves and any other useful tools with you!
There are toilets at the church we can use, and we can also shelter in the office should it rain.
Unfortunately we are now unable to use the Village Hall car park. The best place to try to park is Rectory Gardens, Hallen Road or on Henbury Road as you drive towards the Blaise Castle Car Park.
