The ancient burial plots have long been 'over buried'.
The actual churchyard is full, inscription have long gone from the majority of headstones due to weathering.
Our plot is next to the old area in a relatively new extension, about 50–60 years in use.
We get a 75-year lease on our grave, no freehold plots these days, then up we come, or we two will have new neighbors down with us!
