A churchyard Walk

 

I had a few things I could post today but in the end thought I would take you on a walk in a churchyard I visited the other day. In fact I have been here twice, fist time I could only go around the outside of the church the second I went inside as it was open. As I had time to spare I took another walk around the churchyard which as you will see is not quite what you think it would look like.

 

This was taken 6 weeks previous to my visit, the grass was long which you find in a lot of churchyards

The next tome I came it was really long and you could not see the gravestones but they had cut paths to walk along

Over on the fences you can make out the drawing of a fox

some where over there is a drawing of a badger

Near the entrance a notice that explains all and what you can see

I found walking around it quite peaceful and tranquil under the tree canopy

The churchyard runs along the side of the church as well, I might add the north side of the church the grass is cut but then that is near the roadside

The trees you can see in the churchyard

and the Bees

who were busy, I've seen beehives in other churchyards

 

One of the graves which is in the under growth and like a lot of others forgotten about. Most churchyards now have areas that have been left to nature and the graves are really old and forgotten. Littlemore church has taken it a bit further and created a nature reserve which is a little haven in Oxford
