Love Your Churchyard Event - 9th - 16th June

"Caring for God’s Acre" was established in 2000 as a national charity, promoting the conservation of Churchyards. Often these sites have been set apart for centuries and as such offer much needed refuge for our native wildlife of all varieties – plants, mammals, invertebrates, reptiles.

At St. Peter's we have deliberately not done any mowing or strimming in the churchyard during May. This is so that our 'minibeasts' and wildlife have a chance to thrive and multiply.

During the week the churchyard will be open for visitors, especially children and families to explore and search for the wealth of wildlife that lives here.
