St Peter's-in-the-Forest Churchyard

Introduction

The yellow brick church is in Italianate Romanesque style and, surrounded by its churchyard, is approached from Epping Forest abutting common land. Now closed for burials, the graveyard has numerous headstones in a natural, semi-wild setting with mature trees including oak, horse chestnut, yew and holly. In spring some of the tombs are literally covered with snowdrops.
