[@jamiekenleyuk]

Was at some cottages where the stones used where taken from a graveyard. there with names ages and whatnot all over the houses

[@daveeboney7089]

I Have seen them used in all sorts of ways.

Hi Dave really intersting find, so do you think because they have the right to use the head stones after a certain period that the grave can be reused again for other people wishing to be buried there, this is something that ive never thought of, thanks for bringing this to our attention 👍👍.

[@misscoutts6193]

No because there is still a corpse there unless they do road-widening in which case it is all dug up.

[@daveeboney7089]

cheers Steve👍

Did you catch many dates that were over a hundred years old? I wonder how recently thatcwas all built up like that…

[@daveeboney7089]

There was not many complete stones just these smashed up ones.....I will be putting the full video up this weekend of the church itself with its 20 plus antennas or lightning conductors as they would have up believe.

[@jjhynd7302]

did the come from a graveyard that was being "repurposed" elsewhere ?

[@daveeboney7089]

i do think the little grave yard was a lot bigger in the 1800s
