Lots of trees (with a few old chapel photos).
As I was sorting the FBEC photo files I thought this album may interest some of you. It is partly a prep. for a future tree trail.(Photographs taken by committee member Carola Klein in 2017) https://photos.app.goo.gl/cpFoygJyYEXRfHqF8
We’ve started, so we may as well carry on!
If you follow our posts you will see that earlier this afternoon we gave the hedge a clip around the War Grave area. As we were enjoying the sunshine we decided to carry on and attack the Civilian Garden area, which was equally in need of a bit of TLC due to ‘lockdown’ restrictions. We …
‘Cut back’ for War Grave hedge.
We have well over 200 Commonwealth War Graves scattered around Brandwood End but for some reason there are a small group of them together just near our Civilian Garden of Remembrance, so some years ago we planted a hedge as a form of demarcation. During Lock down it had become rather wild and unkempt….maybe like …
Just one, or are there more?
In the last month there have been close to a dozen sightings of Roe Deer in and around the Cemetery. It seems that usually it is a female Roe and she favours early afternoon for her appearances! This is not a photograph of the Roe in the cemetery, but a generic one. (Note that they …

Cancelled Litter Pick
The Friends of Brandwood End Cemetery should have been holding their quarterly litter pick this Sunday coming but, under the present circumstances, we have decided to cancel it. It is probable that it would involve a group of more than 6 people, most of whom would fall into vulnerable categories! We hope to be able …
Wildlife making themselves known !
Munjac Deer have been making themselves known in and around the area of the cemetery and the pool. They were heard more than seen a lot in the past, but sightings have been rare of late. The deer you can see in the picture below is a Roe deer and is considerably larger with a …
Remembering Dunkirk.
Between the 26th of May and the 4th of June 1940 over 300,000 British and allied troops were evacuated through the combined efforts of the Royal Navy and 700 ‘Little Ships’. The evacuation was ultimately a success rescuing a far greater number than the 45,000 expected. In excess of 330,000 troops made it home. Please …
