PLEASE take extra care in the churchyard for the next few weeks. A large branch fell off one of our taller trees and is currently blocking the usual path through the churchyard. A team of tree surgeons are currently dealing with the fallen branches with heavy machinery and are hoping to make the tree safe today. Please be aware that the long dry summer and the recent heavy rains together with strong winds is making all of our trees rather vulnerable.
Please take note of the safety barriers and keep to the safe side!

No visitors again today; we’ve advertised via our very own St Helena’s, Willoughby pew sheet, ‘What’s on in Willoughby’, and the Alford Group of Churches pew sheet. ‘Caring for God’s Acre’ (with the Church of England and A Rocha) promote, nationally, sites taking part in Churches Count on Nature Week, and yet, nobody comes to see this beautiful churchyard, full of trees (English yews, Irish yews, holly, wych elm, lime, beech, sycamore, and others yet to be identified), insects (and oh, how we’d love someone to help us recognise and record these) , pollinators, butterflies, birds, amphibians, and, not forgetting, the exceedingly endangered species of the lesser spotted, caring, dedicated churchwarden who cares, mostly on her own, for this exceedingly beautiful God’s Acre.
