The modern flora has much larger numbers of arable weeds and what could be described as weeds of waste ground encouraged by intensive agriculture and able to survive periodic spraying.
Plants such as couch (Elymus repens), squeech (Agrostis stolonifera), hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) are very common here.
In the village are large numbers of alien plants, mostly planted, but with some becoming naturalised such as japanese knotweed on Oakington Road, walnuts and spanish bluebells.
