Churchyard Chatter

We have a brand new motor mower for use in the churchyard. It is very simple to start and incorporates all the latest Health and Safety features.

It will not, of course, come into full use until the spring but now is the time to learn how to use it. Please have a word with me if you are inspired to help in the mowing of the churchyard using this lovely new mower. ( It isn’t every day you get an offer like this one!!!!)

At this time of the year the church path is made hazardous by the berries falling from the female of our two living yew trees. Please use the provided handrail and lend an arm to others transversing the slope, and BE CAREFUL.

The other living yew tree is a male and thus has no berries, if only the ancients planting these trees had known…….!

I have said “living” yew trees because we also have the remains of another ancient yew, now clothed with a bounteous growth of winter flowering ivy, a lovely sight.

This is referred to in Ronald Bryer’s book ‘Not The Least’ on page 77.
