GREENSTEAD GREEN CHURCHYARD
The church was built in 1844-45 upon land given by Joseph Nunn Brewster of Halstead
Lodge from his estate. The first burial was in 1846. The churchyard contains many large
trees, some of which may have been present before the church was built, although this
would make them over 150 years old. They are scattered and marginal in position. The
trees were identified and counted:
Yew 9
Scots pine 7
Sycamore 11
Lime 18
Oak 8
Holly 17 (mainly marginal)
Horse chestnut 1
