A-Z of churchyard conservation
Resource PageHens and cockerels are also common, often found atop a spire in the form of a golden weathervane. The cockerel is such an ancient symbol for a weathervane that one appears in the Bayeux Tapestry, being added to Westminster Abbey. Many churches, and churchyards, are also havens for live wild or domestic animals. Some have church cats or sheep to graze the churchyard grass. But, only one has a welcome hen; St Mary, Roecliffe, Yorkshire.
