Dagenham Village Churchyard, Cemetery and nature reserve in London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, England.
The site encompasses 0.88 hectares of land featuring historical gravestones alongside diverse wildlife, including several butterfly species and resident foxes.
The churchyard, connected to a thirteenth-century church, contains seventeen Commonwealth war graves from both World Wars and numerous local memorials.
The transformation from an active burial ground to a protected natural space reflects the community's commitment to preserving both heritage and environment.
Located on Church Lane, this dual-purpose site combines cemetery preservation with natural habitat management under the Borough Council's supervision.
An avenue of lime trees within the grounds provides food for woodpeckers while supporting multiple bat populations through insect abundance.
