Thursday 6 March 2008

Team: Peter, Michael, Carolyn, Eric
Weather: dry and breezy

What we did:
  • Michael and Peter spent the morning clearing litter and taking off the unsightly plastic from the tree stumps. The whole of the upper churchyard looks much less cluttered with "rubbish" now.
  • Carolyn spent the morning clearing the beds behind church (in the new car park) and then digging them over. This is in preparation for planting. Whilst doing this I found what appears to be parts of one or more stained glass windows. There is more glass underneath which needs to be dug out. Eric volunteered to clean up the glass so that we can then see if there is any value (historical or monetary) to it.
  • After lunch, Michael moved some more of the logs and rubble down to the Lion Brow side whilst Carolyn recorded the details of some more graves for the database. This brings the total number of individuals recorded to 188. Still loads to go but we're getting there!
  • Eric again provided some well needed tea and biscuits.
