Farewell to Churchyard Tree
A second horse chestnut in the churchyard has been felled
due to safety concerns over the hollow trunk at the base
of the tree. The tree was felled by Heritage Arboriculture
Ltd. Replacement Hornbeam trees, planted several years
ago, are already well established. |
Approximately 50 people and ten children attended a
Remembrance Service at the Parish War Memorial. |
This oak tree along The Old Road is still clinging onto
many of its leaves, even in mid December. Oak trees tend hold onto
many of their leaves until
winter winds clear them. |
