Wall Pennywort (Umbilicus rupestris) is also known as Navelwort because the circular, penny-shaped leaves are joined to the stalk in the centre, making a 'dimple' or 'navel' in the middle.
The greenish tubular flowers are on a long vertical spike. In a sunny position they may get a pink tinge and the leaves may turn red.
It grows on walls, cliffs and stony ground, mainly in Wales, south western England and Northern Ireland. I saw a lot of these along the path from St Mary's Church down towards the fields.
