The Churchyard Garden

Welcome

Whether you are a member of the church congregation, part of the local community, a visitor or a tourist, you are welcome to rest here, to explore the garden, to escape for a while from the bustle of city life all around us.

Our churchyard is not large, but it is a public green space which is open and available to anybody when the church is open.

Celebrating Creation

Come into the churchyard garden and marvel at the beauty and diversity of the natural world.

God saw that his creation was good, and we can too!

Our Spiritual Journey

You are invited to spend some time here, in the churchyard garden, to engage with the carefully planted themed areas within the garden, and to explore aspects of your own spiritual journey.​

Areas of the garden have been planted to reflect spiritual themes.

The following will go live soon...

Garden of Remembrance

The Garden of Remembrance is an area of the churchyard where ashes may be strewn. We hope to make it an environment where the dead may rest in peace and where the living may find peace in the world. A place where we can remember with love those who have gone before us.
