Holwell Churchyard

By 2011, the Churchyard was in a poor state, with overgrown hedges obscuring the East window and the grass inside the hedges overgrown:

Seeding new grass followed and by September 2011, the Churchyard was looking much neater:

In 2012, Brenda Bailey kindly donated the oak bench in memory of her late husband, Peter.  Brenda and Peter had lived at Church Cottage:

The final touch in 2013 was to install a timer-controlled floodlight to come on every evening:
