Last Sunday St Nicholas Church Kenilworth held a ‘Naturewatch’ in the churchyard.
The church is close to the ruins of St Mary’s Abbey and Abbey Fields, which feature in my book Paranormal Warwickshire. The Naturewatch took us on a walk around the churchyard identifying a variety of beautiful and curious things – flowers, trees, gravestones, herb garden, secret steps, Celtic cross, abbey ruins, fallen wall and old tree which have become wildlife havens. This churchyard has long been one of my favourite places, and yet I learned many new things. An enchanting and fascinating churchyard hunt.










Did you know that any St Nicholas church is connected with the saint who is celebrated on 6 December. Also St Nicholas’ churches can appoint Boy Bishop’s or at least did in the part. I was brought up in a village in Essex with a St Nicholas church.
Interesting. I knew of the connection with the saint celebrated on 6 Dec but not about the boy bishop!
What beautiful photos!
