St Mary’s Churchyard

A summer picnic at the end of a working session in the churchyard.

The Green Gym’s work in the churchyard of the Parish Church of Chipping Norton includes removing ivy from walls and gravestones and clearance around graves and in other areas.

Before and after clearing around some of the chest tombs

If not removed, ivy growing on the churchyard walls can loosen stones

We have replanted some of the many snowdrops in the churchard, to spread them about. They make a marvellous sight, marking the approach of Spring.
