“Churches Count on Nature” and “The Great Big Green Week” – wild times in June at All Saints Churchyards. Hemblington

Sat 3 Jun - Sun 18 Jun

All Saints Church Hemblington

Two glorious weeks of celebrating nature and the natural surroundings of All Saints Church, Church Lane, Hemblington between 3rd - 18th June.

All are invited to share in the beauty of the rural area in and around Hemblington’s church of All Saints. The church team is very keen to encourage an hospitable habitat for local flora and fauna and has recently achieved the bronze level A Rocha Eco-church award.

The small round towered Medieval church, boasting a unique wall painting of St Christopher, a fine font and several pre-Reformation features, is surrounded by two churchyards. The southern one enjoys a very wide variety of wild flowers and is managed with conservation in mind by Blofield & District Conservation Group BADCOG, who cut and rake it twice a year once the flowers have seeded. The northern churchyard, a more recent acquisition, is managed by the Bure Valley Conservation Group, and its wildflower numbers are increasing well.

To mark these special weeks, the Friends of All Saints Church invite you to see:
