Patches of meadow saxifrage are springing up over much of the rear of our churchyard. These small white flowers are now sadly uncommon in England, with their strongholds being mainly the undisturbed and unimproved land of old cemeteries.

Also known as Fair Maids of France, they flower from April through May, holding their dainty white heads about six inches above the leaves and dance in the breeze.

If you visit the churchyard, you will find a notice with further information on these beautiful residents of Charlton.
