All Saints with St James Brightlingsea

Holy Mowers

We are a group of volunteers, all retired, who take great pride in looking after the All Saints’ churchyard.

Our churchyard, all 7.5 acres, the second biggest in the country, is full of interest. Not only the graves and the stories behind them, but also the war graves and the displays of seasonal flowers: snowdrops, bluebells, primroses etc.

The churchyard is a haven for wildlife, too: birds ,owls, butterflies and bats, slowworms, bugs and beetles, all with habitats provided. The churchyard is a green churchyard,  totally organic and carefully managed with regimes for mowing.
We meet on Thursday mornings for work, coffee, biscuits and a chat.

Want to join us?  You don’t have to attend church to join. Call the Church Office on  01206 302378   for more information.

St James’ Church is open daily from 8:30am until 3:00pm. Please note these times may vary due to special services as well as hire for private events.
