Big Nature Hunt draws families to our historic Cemetery
Last weekend, more than 30 families gathered at Rectory Lane Cemetery for a lively Great Big Nature Hunt as part of Churches Count on Nature Week, organised by the Friends of St Peter’s with the conservation charity Caring for God’s Acre. From pond dipping to bug hunting, children and adults discovered the rich wildlife thriving in this carefully restored green space. Rectory Lane Cemetery is the historic burial ground for St Peter’s, opened in 1842 after our churchyard was full up.
Our Cemetery ranger Kate Campbell said, “It was about helping people notice what is already here and feel a sense of shared care for it. Seeing families exploring, learning and enjoying the space together was just wonderful.” Read the full story on the St Albans Diocese website:
