Before setting off, an explanation of the national importance of the Old Cemetery as an early example of a municipal cemetery where the original structures survive, and ‘scene setting’ about Southampton in the 1840s. We looked at the approach road from The Avenue, the Main Gate and Lodge. From the yew tree path, we looked at a section of what we think is the original iron railings on a dwarf brick wall on the 1840s boundary with The Common, and the race course. We looked at the Anglican chapel, and the carved stone heads under the eaves. We walked along the main cross-carriageway and noted the sweep to the doors of each chapel. We looked across the valley talking about the landform before the cemetery and looked at the Louden-inspired planting. We walked to the main spine path and talked about the drainage. Then we went to the Hill Lane gate to see the brick and stone boundary wall - more substantial than the railings on The Common boundary. We ended at the Dissenters’ chapel. We acknowledged what we owe to two Southampton family businesses, the Doswell’s, surveyors, who superintended construction of the Cemetery and the Rogers, who ran the Red Lodge nursery, who prepared the amended design, landscaping and planting in the Louden ‘gardenesque’ style.

- [Learn to Identify the Insect life of The Cemetery](https://fosoc.org/news/learn-to-identify-the-insect-life-of-the-cemetery/): The Old Cemetery is a haven for insects due to the sheltered location, the low intensity management, and the great variety of insect host plants. Please join me on this opportunity to study, learn about, and hopefully identify a wide range of species of grasshopper and cricket, Hemiptera bug, ladybirds and other beetles, bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, and two winged flies. We won’t be ignoring other invertebrates such as snails and spiders should we come across them. Many of the species will be seen on flowers but I will be bringing netting equipment to aid us as required. If the weather is poor the search would be more challenging but what we do find may be less mobile.
- [It’s Christmas!](https://fosoc.org/news/its-christmas/): Even Storm Darragh with winds of up to 60 mph did not stop the brilliant show of baubles hanging on the trees in the Old Cemetery. So far not one bauble has been destroyed.
- [Remembrance Sunday Ceremony – Belgian War Memorial](https://fosoc.org/news/remembrance-sunday-ceremony-belgian-war-memorial/): Our commemoration this year has as one of its themes what was happening in November 1914, three months after the German invasion of Belgium led to declaration of war. Southampton was one of the places receiving Belgian soldiers injured in defence of their homeland. Sadly, many died of wounds. Records show the first burial of Belgian soldiers in plots surrounding me was on 28 October 1914. 110 years ago, by 10 November 1914 barely two weeks later, a dozen more had followed. To the people of Southampton this rapidly increasing number of fresh graves here must have been a poignant sign of the impact of war. It’s perhaps one factor which led to the public giving money for this Cross, unveiled in 1916, commemorating, by name, Belgian soldiers buried here and in other local cemeteries, and the response of the people of Southampton in giving sanctuary and support to them and to Belgian refugees.
- [Remembrance Sunday Ceremony- at the Cross of Sacrifice](https://fosoc.org/news/remembrance-sunday-ceremony-at-the-cross-of-sacrifice/): For those who may, perhaps, not have been aware, 2024 marks the 21 st anniversary of the founding of FoSOC and our 16 th Remembrance Commemoration in this cemetery.

As you will all appreciate, FoSOC has progressed very well, thanks to the hard work, over the years, of its committee and members. We are all, as volunteers, dedicated to our work in, and connected to, this cemetery. If you have not seen the display in the former non-conformist chapel, put together by Val Ferguson, our Secretary, please do take the opportunity to do so. Our co-Founder, Veronica, is our Lord Mayor’s Mum so, please, Lord Mayor, take to her our very best wishes, and sincere thanks, for her part in the creation of FoSOC.

- [Fungi large and small](https://fosoc.org/events/fungi-large-and-small/): Phill BuddI will be running my annual fungus walk in the old cemetery. This is quite a late date because these days fungi are appearing later with the cooler, wetter weather. The cemetery is well recorded for fungi, but I still seem to find new species every time I go there in the autumn. The great variety of trees and the plentiful supply of dead wood and leaf litter is very favourable to fungi, especially where things have not been tidied up too much. There are interesting grassland fungi too because the cemetery has not been sprayed with chemicals. Please come and join me among the parasols, blewits, funnel caps, tough shanks, brackets, puffballs, waxcaps, and agarics,  to learn so much more about these fascinating seasonal species. We might call off the walk in the event of heavy rain and/or strong winds
- [Trees, galls, and leaf mines](https://fosoc.org/events/trees-galls-and-leaf-mines/): This will be a new type of walk concentrating on looking for the mines of moths, flies, and sawflies on the leaves of plants, especially trees and shrubs, as well as the  many galls that can be seen at this time of year. These latter being particularly prolific on trees such as oak, lime, and sycamore. Leaf mines can be of two main types – blotch or serpentine mines and they are commonest again on oak and on certain other trees and shrubs such as bramble leaves, hawthorn, and even plane trees. We may come across fungi on trees and wood as well as identifying some tree species as we travel around the cemetery. I will try to carry on with the walk even if the weather is quite damp but may call it off if very windy or stormy.
- [Late Summer Insects](https://fosoc.org/events/late-summer-insects/): Hopefully, the weather will be cooler, but not dull and wet, for another exploration of the insects and spiders in the rich variety of habitats at Southampton Old Cemetery. The butterfly transect season will be drawing to a close, but we hope to see the likes of speckled wood, small copper, red admiral, common blue, and comma still on the wing and maybe joined by some migrant moths. We will hunt down the more hidden creatures in the ground, grassland and on the trees and will also be looking out for leaf mines and galls. We will not be ignoring other wildlife like birds, fungi (depending on rainfall), and late flowers – this is the time that devil’s-bit scabious (a good nectar source) is in bloom and the ivy, goldenrods and autumn stonecrop may be coming out.

- [Late Summer Flowers](https://fosoc.org/events/late-summer-flowers/): When the old cemetery was first laid out in the early Victorian period it was planned as an arboretum, but as well as trees certain flora was established, indeed much of it was probably already there as the site had previously been part of Southampton Common. Subsequently the original flora has not been affected by being disturbed or sprayed with chemicals and over the years and decades more plants had been introduced on the graves. The old cemetery is now one of the richest parts of the whole Common for summer flora. We should see native plants like harebell, heathers, St John’s-wort’s, rosebay, orpine, and devil’s-bit scabious in flower. Non-native species include broad-leaved everlasting pea, the foodplant of the rare long-tailed blue butterfly which if it visits us this year, will be around in August. Magnifying lenses and binoculars may be useful. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.  
- [Spring Insects](https://fosoc.org/events/spring-insects/): An exploration of the rich insect life in the old cemetery. If it is sunny or bright we should see many and various pollinating insects, including burrowing and other solitary bees, bumble bees, hoverflies, bee-fly including maybe the Spotted Bee-fly, small moths and butterflies. If cloudier we will concentrate more on what insects, spiders, and other invertebrates we can coax out of the trees, shrubs, and grassland, these will include shield-bugs and ladybirds. There should be plenty of other spring wildlife to see including flowering trees and singing birds too. Magnifying lenses or binoculars may be useful. Please bring warm or waterproof clothing, if required, and stout footwear.

- [The Signs and Symbols of the Old Cemetery](https://fosoc.org/events/guided-walk-the-signs-and-symbols-of-the-old-cemetery/): This guided walk offers an exploration of the various signs and symbols engraved on some of the headstones in the Old Cemetery. During the walk, you will learn about the significance of these carvings and how they may relate to the individuals laid to rest in the graves.
- [Titanic – Longer Walk](https://fosoc.org/events/titanic-longer-walk/): Sunday 12th April - the Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery (FoSOC) are pleased to announce that there will be a walking tour of the Old Cemetery with connections to the sinking of the White Star ship the Titanic. There will be a display in the Non-Conformist Chapel to view.
- [Titanic Talk](https://fosoc.org/events/titanic-talk/): At the former Non Conformist chapel in the cemetery, on Sunday morning of the 12th April, back for a second time, now used by FoSOC as their 'centre', Geoff Watts gave a free talk about 'RMS Titanic and Southampton'. This concentrated specifically on how the coming to Southampton of the ship, and its subsequent loss, affected the town. With many images, Geoff took us through places, locations and buildings that can still be seen and some of the people involved in the tragedy. The talk was well received and we were joined by some descendants of people involved, providing additional interest to the subject.
- [Mid Summer Insects](https://fosoc.org/events/early-spring-flowers-2/): An exploration of the rich insect life in the old cemetery. If it is sunny or bright we should see many and various pollinating insects, including bees, bumble bees, hoverflies and other diurnal fly species,  grasshoppers, crickets, day-flying moths, and butterflies. If cloudier we will concentrate more on what insects, spiders, and other invertebrates we can coax out of the trees, shrubs, and grassland, these will include shield-bugs, bush-crickets, coneheads and ladybirds. There should be plenty of other high summer wildlife to see including a range of flora and maybe early fungi. Magnifying lenses or binoculars may be useful. Please bring appropriate clothing and stout footwear.
- [Snails and minibeasts](https://fosoc.org/events/snails-and-minibeasts/): Early February is a very quiet time of year for invertebrates, especially flying insects, but provided the weather isn’t very cold it should be straight forward to find a wide variety of invertebrates from snails and slugs to woodlice, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, springtails, and bark lice to name just some examples. Not all will be readily identifiable, but we should be able to seek them out in the trees and scrub, on the ground, on bark, moss, stone etc, using various methods. We will learn the characteristics of the various groups and a little about their lifestyles. Maybe there will be other wildlife and plant life of interest too. Please bring warm clothing, stout footwear, and binoculars or magnifiers will be very useful.
- [Winter Tree Identification](https://fosoc.org/events/winter-tree-identification/): This is another opportunity to learn about the identification of trees and shrubs in winter when most of them have dropped their leaves. We will also look like broadleaved evergreen trees and shrubs. We will be studying such features as twigs, buds, the arrangement of the branches, any remaining fruits, and the overall form of the trees. As well as some native species, the cemetery contains many exotics as it was originally laid out as an arboretum. I will be bringing along my trusty identification key. Hand lenses (or small binoculars viewed in reverse) would be useful if you can bring them. We may see other wildlife too, especially bird life. Please bring warm clothing and stout footwear.
- [Winter Bird Walk](https://fosoc.org/events/winter-bird-walk/): The Old Cemetery is a haven for bird life due to its variety of feeding and nesting habitats and the wealth of different trees there. Even in winter kestrels, green woodpeckers, great spotted woodpeckers, nuthatches, firecrests, goldcrests, redwings, and many small birds can be seen. Recently red kites overhead and noisy ring-necked parakeets have become regular sightings. We should have time to visit the nearby Cemetery Lake and maybe other parts of The Common for much more variety. As well as the usual duck, gulls, and members of the crow family there are often wild shovelers and herons at the lake. Wrap up warmly though and bring waterproofs just in case.
- [Learn about Fungi](https://fosoc.org/events/learn-about-fungi/): October is usually the best month to see fungi in woodland, grassland, and cemeteries. Over 200 species have been found in the Old Cemetery. This year the hot and sunny summer will have boosted the production of sugars by trees and other plants upon which non-decomposing fungi species feed. This means that given a favourable rainfall pattern, there could be fungi galore by mid-October. The cemetery is well known for it's parasols, funnel caps, wax caps, tough shanks, bracket fungi, blewits, bonnet caps, and brittlegills. We may find giant puffball, earthstars, and interesting micro-fungi too.
- [Learn about Conifers](https://fosoc.org/events/learn-about-conifers/): This will be a similar walk to the one held back in February this year but this time we will be concentrating on the identification of conifers and not the other evergreens, the creatures that live on and under them and, hopefully, we will find some of the mosses and fungi associated with these trees. The Cemetery has many conifer varieties, especially of the cypress family, and most were planted many years ago. The cemetery is also home to several cedar trees, which unlike other conifers, can be seen in flower at this time of year. Some of the invertebrates that we hope to come across include shield and seed bugs, spiders, harvestmen, aphids, bark flies, and beetles.
- [Learn to Identify the Insect life of The Cemetery](https://fosoc.org/events/learn-to-identify-the-insect-life-of-the-cemetery/): The Old Cemetery is a haven for insects due to the sheltered location, the low intensity management, and the great variety of insect host plants. Please join me on this opportunity to study, learn about, and hopefully identify a wide range of species of grasshopper and cricket, Hemiptera bug, ladybirds and other beetles, bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, and two winged flies. We won’t be ignoring other invertebrates such as snails and spiders should we come across them. Many of the species will be seen on flowers but I will be bringing netting equipment to aid us as required. If the weather is poor the search would be more challenging but what we do find may be less mobile.
- [Learn to Identify the Flowers of The Cemetery](https://fosoc.org/events/learn-to-identify-the-flowers-of-the-cemetery/): June is the maximum time for flowering species in the cemetery, although the spring bulbs will be well over. We should find an array of flowers from the pea, bellflower, daisy, mint, umbellifer, stonecrop, and many other families. We may also look at some grasses and the few trees, such as lime and Indian bean tree, which may be flower then. If the weather is fine there should be a good number of pollinators and other insects to see too and I certainly hope that 2025 will be a better year for butterflies than was 2024. This will primarily be an opportunity to gain experience more about the flowers, especially those less familiar ones.
- [Very early morning Bird walk and Dawn chorus](https://fosoc.org/events/very-early-morning-bird-walk-and-dawn-chorus/): I’ll be getting up with the lark for this one, although being an urban habitat we probably won’t hear any actual larks. We will hopefully see and hear the common birds such as robin, dunnock, tit species, thrushes, blackbirds, wrens, parakeets and maybe great-spotted woodpecker, nuthatch, goldcrest, firecrest, stock dove , and others. Early morning is a good time for mammal activity too, as well as the usual squirrels we could see deer, hedgehogs, of foxes, but no promises. Wrap up warm in case it’s a chilly morning.
- [Jane Austen – Walk is now fully Booked!](https://fosoc.org/events/jane-austen-250th-anniversary-of-her-birth/): Town, Military and Naval. Old Cemetery Connections with Jane Austen's lifetime.
- [Titanic Walk -Survivors](https://fosoc.org/events/titanic-survivors-new-walk/): Back for a second time, FoSOC guides centred on the stories of the survivors of the sinking of the SS Titanic. This walk will be for one hour.
- [Early spring flowers](https://fosoc.org/events/early-spring-flowers/): I’ll be following in the footsteps of the late John Vetterlein and starting early in the season with this wildflower walk. Many spring bulbs have been planted over the years and at least some of these have naturalised well. There are daffodils, crocuses, snowdrops (usually gone over by late March), snowflakes, squills, and others. Some native flora will also be visible – buttercups, celandines, primroses, various speedwells, and many others. Hopefully, given some sunshine, we will see early insects like the bee-fly, bumble and other bees, and early butterflies too. Some trees and shrubs will be in bloom too. Despite the early date plenty to look for.
- [Identification of evergreen trees and conifers](https://fosoc.org/events/identification-of-evergreen-trees-and-conifers/): My previous walk to study conifers at The Cemetery looked at the many varieties, especially of the cypress family. I will be looking at some of these again but also showing some of the many evergreen broad-leaved trees and shrubs that have either been planted or have self-sown, especially with the aid of birds. Evergreen species tend to have flourished thanks to the recent trend to  milder and wetter winter weather and drier and hotter summer conditions. Most species won’t be in flower in February, but the leaves and other features are usually readily identifiable. So come and join me and learn more.
- [Lichens on Stones](https://fosoc.org/events/lichens-on-stones/): Lichens are peculiar organisms, a hybrid between an alga or/and blue-green alga (a relative of bacteria) and a kind of fungi. Each component, known as a symbiont, benefits from each other. As a result, lichens can live a very long time and can survive in harsh environments such as dry, sandy soil, the dry bark of trees, and on stone, brick, and rock. Many of those species that live on tomb stones or walls originally evolved on natural rock faces. Different lichens grow on stones depending on whether they are limestone or acidic stone. Lichens often so old that some of the larger ones can be as ancient as the stones themselves. I will also look at the physical type of lichen and show how they reproduce. Most species of lichen are not labelled with common English names, but we can have fun making some up.
- [Winter Bird Walk– led by Phil Budd](https://fosoc.org/events/winter-bird-walk-led-by-phil-budd/): Birds will be the focus of my final cemetery walk of 2024. The majority of the birds that can be found in cemetery these days are present all year round but in winter when they are more active on the hunt for food, tend to form larger flocks, and can be seen more easily among the bare branches. Most of the birds seen will be the usual garden varieties but the cemetery has a lot of conifers and so it attracts coal tits, goldcrests, and the pretty fire crest. Other species likely to be seen include kestrel, green and great spotted woodpeckers, nuthatch, mistle thrush, jay, and the noisy  ring-necked parakeets. We will also pay a visit to the cemetery lake and hope to find interesting duck like pochard, shoveler, and mandarin duck. There are often herons and cormorants there too.
- [November Fungus Foray – led by Phil Budd](https://fosoc.org/events/november-fungus-foray-led-by-phil-budd/): Most of the fungi tend not to be visible for very long and their appearance is much affected by the weather and ground conditions so in the space of a month the visible fungi are likely to be very different to what they were in mid October. As they say, a month is a long time in fungi politics! In November we will be searching among the fallen leaves for the likes of greasy tough-shank, lilac (and other) bonnet caps, the wood blewit, the fragrant and tawny funnel caps, and the yellow sulphurous knight, which smells strongly of moth balls. In open grassland there should be more bonnet caps as well as waxcaps, coral fungi, and various ‘little brown jobs’ on show.
- [October Fungus Foray led by Phil Budd](https://fosoc.org/events/october-fungus-foray-led-by-phil-budd/): My fungi walk at the cemetery was very popular last year so this year I have decided to run two fungi walks. The old cemetery has remained very undisturbed for 170 years and therefore a large population of fungi has built up. In addition to this there is a mix of heathy grassland, and woodland/trees including native broadleaved trees, such as oak, and many ornamental conifers. All of this means that a very rich variety of fungi species are present. The cemetery is particularly good for fungi that like dead wood as well as waxcaps, funnel caps, parasols, milk caps and relatives of the common cultivated mushroom. We may be lucky enough to see the earthstars under the cypresses again this year.
- [Late Summer Flowers and Insects](https://fosoc.org/events/late-summer-flowers-and-insects/): Usually, the weather is still bright and balmy in early September but hopefully any summer heat will be past. The floral displays in the cemetery continue into late summer but most of the flowers are then found in the open grassland and heathlands of the old cemetery. There will be an array of yellow dandelion types to get to grips with as well as heathers, devil’s-bit scabious, late summer umbellifers, and many others. We will be searching for the rare long-tailed blue butterfly around the everlasting peas and several commoner butterflies, including brown argus, are likely to be seen. Many pollinating hoverflies, Tachinid flies, solitary bees, ichneumon wasps, and a few beetle species are still around. Migrating birds could be seen.
- [Summer Tree Identification](https://fosoc.org/events/summer-tree-identification/): The old cemetery was originally set up as an arboretum and there are many interesting trees there. In July exotics such as silver-pendant lime, Indian bean tree and the low, shrubby bottlebrush buckeye should be in bloom. Many other deciduous trees will be identified including native and non-native species and some will be in fruit.  We might look at some of the more interesting conifers too.  We should see an array of flowers and conspicuous insects too and it is peak time for the grassland butterflies with a large woodland butterfly, the silver-washed fritillary too. Since it is mid-summer be prepared for hot weather but fortunately there is plenty of shade in the cemetery.
- [Late Spring Flowers and Insect Life](https://fosoc.org/events/late-spring-flowers-and-insect-life/): Two months after the early spring walk, we have a better prospect of plentiful insect life and even more flowers. There will be three-cornered leek, bluebells, violets and other lingering spring flowers plus many flowering trees and early summer flowers like mouse-ear hawkweed and pignut in bloom. Any sunshine will bring out orange-tips, small coppers, speckled woods, common blues, and some day-flying moths. We hope to see insects such as cardinal, rose chafer and thick-legged flower ‘popeye’ beetles, ladybirds, shield bugs and host of bees. We may hear singing birds too, some of them summer visitors.
- [Task Day](https://fosoc.org/events/task-day/): FoSOC members only.
- [Heritage Weekend/21st Year of FoSOC](https://fosoc.org/events/heritage-weekend-21st-year-of-fosoc/): FULLY BOOKED - AS OF TODAY 5/9/24
- [“Back to the Beginnings”](https://fosoc.org/events/watch-this-space/): 'A walk looking at graves we have not featured for some time and in celebration of our 21 years of guided walks at the Old Cemetery by the Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery.'
- [Lives Lost at Sea](https://fosoc.org/events/southampton-docks-and-lives-lost/): This walk we will visit the graves of the people who died and who were associated with Southampton Docks.  Some people died as a result of accidents while they were working at the Dockside, others died on board ships and some were Southampton locals. There were those who died far from home at sea and it was a deliberate act.  There were even those just visitors to our shores and died far from home.  We will hear their story of how they died. 
- [WW1- Lost lives never forgotten!](https://fosoc.org/events/ww1-lost-lives-who-are-never-forgotten/): 110th ANNIVERSARY OF THE STARTING OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR
- [Grizzly Stories from the Railway](https://fosoc.org/events/grizzy-stories-from-the-railway/): This walk will visit the graves of the people who died associated with the railway.  Some died as a result of accidents while they were working on the tracks. Some were a deliberate act.  Some were just accidents. We will hear their story of how they died that day. 
- [Early Spring Flowers and Insect Life](https://fosoc.org/events/early-spring-flowers-and-insect-life/): Normally, fingers crossed, mid-March should see early spring sunshine or at least a rise of temperature above the winter lows. In a normal year many flowers should be visible in the cemetery by this time, especially in the southern and western areas, where primroses, barren strawberry, wood anemone, daffodil species, lesser celandine, late crocuses etc., abound. Some tree species, especially conifers, are likely to be bursting into bloom also. Provided that the weather isn’t dull, damp or very windy, we hope to see some early insects too. We will look out for butterflies like comma, peacock, and brimstone as well as early solitary bees, hairy-legged flower bees, bumble-bees, bee-flies, hoverflies etc. Many taking advantage of the early spring nectar.
- [A Focus on Mosses and Ferns](https://fosoc.org/events/a-focus-on-mosses-and-ferns/): In the cool, and usually damp, conditions of late winter overlooked greenery comes into its own, particularly the lowly mosses and wintergreen species of ferns. Furthermore, many mosses and their close cousins the liverworts, tend to produce their spore capsules in late winter and early spring, thus becoming more attractive and easier to identify at those times. We will observe mosses and ferns on the ground, on graves and on trees and identify some of the more visible and easily recognised species. By mid-February we will hope to see some very early flowers such as crocuses, snowdrops, squills and winter heliotrope too. I would recommend that you bring a hand lens or small binoculars to this walk.
- [How to Identify Trees in Winter](https://fosoc.org/events/how-to-identify-trees-in-winter/): Southampton Old Cemetery contains a wealth of planted trees, both native and non-native, because when the cemetery was originally laid out in Victorian times it was intended that it would also be an arboretum. We have already looked at the coniferous trees so the main purpose of this walk will be to focus on the broad-leaved species, both evergreen and deciduous, and to examine their identification features. Expect to see various species of laurel, holm oak, silver pendant limes, Indian bean tree, English oaks, walnuts, red horse-chestnut, and many others as we move around the cemetery.
- [Christmas Birds of Lake and Cemetery](https://fosoc.org/events/christmas-birds-of-lake-and-cemetery/): This should be a breath of fresh air after the winter excesses, but hopefully not freezing cold or soaking wet fresh air. Fingers crossed! I have been watching birds in the old cemetery since August 1977 when I first joined a regular birdwatching group led by Frank Voysey, formerly the leader of the Southampton Group of the RSPB. The group folded in 1982 but I have often birdwatched here since. Over the years we have seen the arrival of Firecrest, Ring-necked Parakeet and Red Kite but Lesser Spotted Woodpecker are not seen now, and Spotted Flycatcher are rare summer visitors. We hope to see the winter residents in the cemetery as well as assortment of water birds on the Cemetery Lake.
- [Learn about Coniferous Trees](https://fosoc.org/events/learn-about-coniferous-trees/): Southampton Old Cemetery has a rich assortment of conifers, and these provide welcome shelter for wildlife in the winter, an abundant food source for certain birds and insects as well as being so aesthetically pleasing. The oldest ones were planted back in the mid-19th Century and include species from all over the world, from the American Wellingtonia, Nootka Cypress and Lawson’s Cypress; the South American Monkey-puzzle (Chile Pine) and the Sawara Cypress, Japanese Red Cedar, and the rare Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata) from the Far East. We also have the traditional native Yew, including the Irish Yew variety. Learn more about these fascinating trees, including how to identify them.
- [Cemetery Fungus Search](https://fosoc.org/events/cemetery-fungus-search/): I have studied the fungi in Southampton Old Cemetery since 1978 and in the period 1991 to about 2019 I regularly included the old cemetery in the route of my annual public fungus forays for Southampton City Council. The rich assemblage of trees and habitats as well as the amount of old timber and the variation of soil conditions make for a great variety of fungi. I have seen well over 100 species here. There is a waxcap lawn, some unusual fungi specifically associated with the conifers and a particularly strong population of the edible parasol mushroom.
- [‘Six Coronations, an Abdication and some other Royal Connections’](https://fosoc.org/events/six-coronations-an-abdication-and-some-other-royal-connections/): To celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III, this walk looks at some Coronations from times past, the Abdication of King Edward VIII and some Royal visits to the Town.
