Flower Delivery to Bringhurst with Clare Florist

Bringhurst is a small village that is located in southeast Leicestershire. The village is on the site of a Saxon settlement called Bryni’s Hurst which was most likely founded in the early 6th century. Many of the older houses that remain were built out of ironstone. 

The church of St. Nicholas stands at the highest point of Bringhurst Hill. The church was built out of ironstone and limestone and the sections include the chancel, nave, north and south aisles, west tower and south porch. In the north aisle there is a tablet that lists the names of two of the churchwardens as well as a date and it suggests that a restoration was completed in 1707. It is believed that the south porch was rebuilt around the same time. The roof of the nave is dated 1802 and in 1862 the chancel received repairs.  The repairs for the chancel included a new chancel arch, a new roof and replacement of the east window. The tower roof, staircase and bell frame were all repaired in 1899. 

The Leicester Cathedral is located in Leicestershire County. The church is dedicated to St. Martin and it was promoted to cathedral status in 1927. When the remains of King Richard III were found in 2012, they were reburied in the cathedral, replacing the cenotaph memorial stone that was originally located there. The East window in the church was installed as a monument to remember everyone who died during the First World War. 

The University of Leicester Harold Martin Botanical Garden was founded in 1921 and is now located on a sixteen acre parcel of land. The gardens are used primarily for research and teaching purposes, but they do hold events like sculpture and art exhibits, music performances and plant sales. They also have another five acre site called Attenborough Arboretum which is a wild site that has native trees, ponds and a ridge and furrow field. 

During the summer of 2016, the Gardener’s World Live will be taking place in Birmingham, England. The show features one of the largest floral marquees in the country. A new feature this year is the Rose Festival, which was added to the floral marquee. There will be a dedicated demonstration area, growing tips, advice and many different types of roses for sale.
