St Andrew's Church, Eastern Green

This parish church of the Church of England stands on the western edge of Coventry, surrounded by fields. A red brick building in the Gothic revival style, it opened in 1875, according to the parish website, which doesn't mention the name of the architect Link

. Two Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) trees, otherwise known as Giant Redwood or Wellingtonia, were planted in the churchyard, on either side of the path from gate to church. One has been felled and only a huge stump remains. The other now towers over the church, and can be seen to the left of the steeple.

Upper Eastern Green Lane can be seen through the churchyard gates and their decorative lamp overthrow. For more on the church itself see SP2780 : St Andrew's Church, Eastern Green.

Oak tree and fencing, Pickford

The fencing indicates that this still-rural part of western Coventry, to the south of the A45, is soon to be built up with housing.

Oak tree by building site fence, Pickford

The fence indicates that these fields on the western edge of Coventry, south of the A45, are soon to be built up with housing. I hope the mature trees will survive the earth moving and will be incorporated into the new development. Having misread the map I was on the wrong side of the hedge; the public footpath runs along the other side, off to the right of the photo.

Field path with ash tree, Upper Eastern Green

We are on the western edge of Coventry; the city boundary passes between the viewer and the tree. The path runs between Flint's Green and Upper Eastern Green in the Meriden Gap between Coventry and Birmingham, part of the ancient countryside of Arden.

Upper Eastern Green, seen from Church Lane

The grand Victorian house seen across a field of oilseed rape presumably is, or was, the vicarage. The Coventry Society tells us that Eastern Green was historically the green at the eastern end of Meriden parish. Today it forms part of Coventry, at the western edge of the city Link

Looking South from the footpath by the golf course. This crop was planted in the Autumn. I believe it is wheat - we shall see.

On the skyline (left) you can just see the Agco (ex Massey Ferguson) tower block. Further right on the skyline are three large conifers obscuring St. Andrew's Church, Eastern Green.
