We are delighted to announce that two new trees that have been planted in Rectory Lane Cemetery have been approved by the Queen’s Green Canopy.

As part of our long-term project to manage the trees in the Rectory Lane Cemetery, our volunteer tree expert has planted two new trees:

  • Left: in the lower cemetery, a Wild Service Tree (Sorbus Tominalis); this will eventually take over from the nearby Quercus Oak which has suffered so much squirrel damage.
  • Right: in the upper cemetery, a Tulip Tree (Liriodendron Tulipifera).

The Queen’s Green Canopy was created to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, creating a living legacy with over a million trees planted in Her Majesty’s name across the nation. These trees will serve as a lasting tribute to Her Majesty’s extraordinary service to her country and her people, creating a greener UK and benefitting future generations.

We are proud that the Rectory Lane planting has been added to The Queen’s Green Canopy online map:
