We have been invited to provide an Introduction to Lichens growing in the Church' Grounds to a Conservation Group! 

And rightly or wrongly, we have accepted the Invitation! 

So we need to do some preparatory work. 

To the List above we can add: Lecidella elaeochroma, Lecanora muralis and Xanthoria parietina.
