In 2005, Rosemary Hopewell gave a talk to East Meon Garden Club on the Flora of the church yard of All Saints. PDFs can be downloaded from this page of her summary of the talk and of the list she created of the plants she found.

A complete list of the graves is attached, with the names of those buried in them.

Several documents are attached, recording the early work conducted during the period of the Sexton’s Charity, including reports and certificates of awards received for the work of conserving the church yard.
