There are many cemeteries, church grounds and graveyards throughout Exeter. Typically these places are overlooked when it comes to trees and shrubs - but you'd be surprised what you'll find. For instance within the grounds of the St Thomas the Apostle Church there is a Lucombe oak, Turkey oak and several Black pine. In the St Bartholomew's Cemetery there is a Common walnut, Fern-leaved Beech and a Sweet chestnut. Nearly all of these places have Yew trees which can last for over a thousand years! In fact, the oldest tree in Exeter is a Common Yew and this can be found at St Michael and All Angels which is in Heavitree. It is thought to be over 500 years old.
Below is a list of the cemeteries, church grounds and graveyards across Exeter. Please note that some are managed by the Exeter council and some are not. Clicking on the name will show details of the are and clicking on the Post Code will direct you to Google Maps.
If there is anything out of place or wrong please contact me. Equally if there is anything you wish to add please let me know. The more information we have about our cemeteries, church grounds and graveyards the better. Many thanks!
