The Spangled Lawn
In the triangle between the South East gate and the Main gate, the turf is springy beneath your feet. This lawn is not so much grass as Lady’s Bedstraw, Bird’s Foot Trefoil, Self Heal, Clover, Ground Ivy as well as Ox Eye daisies and Dandelions. In Spring it is rich with low growing flowers.
Jesus reminded us not to worry about our own clothes, seeing how beautifully the flowers of the field grow. ‘They toil not, nor do they spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you?’
