Welcome to the Churchyard of St John the Baptist, set beside the River Wenning at 69m 226 ft above sea level, and beside the B6480.There are many different habitats in the churchyard - I wonder if we can find a different lichen for each habitat?
- Sandstone in boundary wall
- Mortar in boundary wall
- Sandstone of church
- Slate/acid rock gravestones
- Limestone memorial grave stones
- Sandstone window ledges of church below lead of window
- Conifer trees with shaded probably acid bark
- Mown stony grassland
- Church Bench
- Church Notice board
- Deciduous Tree trunks (Oak, sycamore Ash?)
- Deciduous Tree branches
- Deciduous Tree twigs
- Boulders beside river
- A cement block - there has to be one somewhere..
- Long-grassland (unlikely to get lichens here)
Well that is 16 habitats - I wonder if we can find 15 lichens?
This post is only half finished - I have made two further trips since starting this page, and will add the new lichens found later.
