About this Churchyard
St Matthew’s churchyard started life in the early 1800’s, so is a newcomer relative to other churchyards. The churchyard has a large burial ground that extends to the east of the church and there is a conservation area which started in 2013 and since then there has been an increase in the species of wildflowers like Pignut, Primrose, Hogweed, Cuckooflower, Germander speedwell, Meadow vetchling, Bush vetch and Common sorrel.
