Who this task will support
St Mary Walthamstow Churchyard
The churchyard contains numerous interesting graves and four listed tombs, and is divided into four railed and enclosed areas with public access to only two; it is bisected by paths which are in frequent public use. There are some 1300 visible monuments in and around the church, and it is thought that over 26,000 burials took place here.
The first church of St Mary Walthamstow was founded in the early-12th century on the site of an older church. The current building is largely 16th-century with later alterations. The timber-framed Ancient House near the church probably stands on the site of the original Manor of Walthamstow.
Tim has lots of gardening tasks for us, so we're hoping to make this a regular session. A nice outdoor task in the summer months, to keep the churchyard of St Mary's, Walthamstow looking its finest.
