Buttercup Railings

It is not often you get the chance to look up at a Buttercup. These are growing in the churchyard that is all that remains of St Mary (Senior) Bishophill. The neglected churchyard was rejuvenated by a local collective of volunteers known as The Bishophill Billies. The Church of England gave a rather lukewarm response to this public spirited gesture  noting that “we need to respect the fact that it is a graveyard and an important archaeological site, so no digging too deep or planting vegetables”.
