A trip round an English churchyard in February
| Church through the trees |
In Pond Farm Road just going toward the gate
| A walk round the churchyard |
This is a small trip round the churchyard of Ss Peter and Paul, Borden, one February morning in 2010. I walked around the perimeter, but the track doesn't look as if I did, unfortunately.
| By the gate |
| Looking back along the road |
All the brambles and ivy were cleared from the wall by a working party in October 2009
| The holly tree |
The base of this was cleared, so now you can see more of the grave stones
| the tower |
built circa 1100AD. Made of flints.
| Crab apple tree |
The birds have eaten most of the berries by now.
| the church and gravestones |
| corner gate |
| peaceful place |
| Looking toward Wises Lane |
| Four stones, one tree |
In Spring, this will be covered in blossom
| The maypole |
Does excellent food at reasonable prices, and a good pint of beer.
| The way in |
| Where are we? |
| Wises Lane |
| Under the tree |

One of many leaning gravestones
| The East Wall |
This is where Kevin cleaned the main window
| The vestry |
Soon to be replaced with a kitchen, toilets, and more space.

Obviously the puddle is warmer than the road

Alongside the drive to Borden Hall
| Broken- not forgotten |
| Path from the Hall |
The first snowdrops on a grave in the sunshine ahead.

Looking East.

This was cleared of ivy and brambles in October

This got cleared of brambles too
