A search of the biological records within the National Biodiversity Network Atlas from the 1km square that encompasses this churchyard contains 342 species. These are mainly bird records with lots of woodland species that are also common in gardens. Some highlights include sparrow hawk, buzzard, tree creeper, pied/white wagtail, spotted flycatcher, tawny owl, greater/lesser spotted woodpecker. There are over 30 yellow meadow ant mounds in this churchyard.
