Flower Delivery to Brookwood with Clare Florist

Brookwood is a small village located in Surrey, England. Brookwood is approximately 3 miles west of Woking, and is semi-rural surrounded by Green Belt land. The village lies between the Basingstoke Canal and the main London to Southampton railway line. Although the exact details are unknown, it is thought that Brookwood was founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, as the word Brook is derived from the old English 'Brock'- meaning badger. As a result of this, Brookwood can be translated to mean 'badger wood'- a link carried through in the school uniform and village crest.
   
Brookwood Cemetery and Basingstoke Canal

Brookwood is famous for its cemetery, or London Necropolis, built in the Victorian era to accommodate the dead from the ever increasing population of London. Brookwood’s cemetery is the largest in the UK, and also one of the biggest in Europe. When the cemetery was built, it was designed with attractiveness in mind- in stark contrast to many of the congested London burial grounds. As a result, the designers heavily planted the grounds in order to create perpetual greenery, and everlasting spring. The cemetery still has some of the most beautiful flowers in Brookwood. In addition it contains a range of heath land, grassland and woodland habitats, all of which are regionally important for wildlife. As a result the cemetery is now designated as a conservation area to protect its character, and ecological importance.

The Basingstoke canal is also important to Brookwood as it is still fully navigable, and is also an important wildlife area. Brookwood Lye is just adjacent to the canal and is an important marsh wildlife habitat, with some of the most beautiful wild flowers in Brookwood.
