Just inside the gateway of the cemetery, stands this beautiful red hawthorn. Crataegus. leavigata - Sometimes referred to as Midland Hawthorn or Woodland Hawthorn, is a species of Hawthorn native to western and central Europe, from Great Britain (where it is uncommon, and largely confined to the Midlands) and Spain east to the Czech Republic and Hungary. It is a deciduous shrub or tree with red flowers. The red flowered Hawthorn grown in gardens is derived from Midland Thorn. It is mainly a woodland species, and can have a single trunk. Height - A maximum of 10m (rarely to 12m) tall, with a dense crown. Less common than C. monogyna, preferring the heavy clay soils of the Midlands and a few areas further South and East.
