***UPDATES IN PROGRESS***
There are many cemeteries 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.  Often overlooked and sometimes forgotten these places often have Yew trees.​
