It has been done for centuries all over the country. <br />Instead of a gate you can still sometimes find those small steps that run up one side of the churchyard wall and a similar set down on t'other. Around here, we hear of complaints of how expensive it is to mow all the grass round the graves. Then later we find they have laid all the stones down so they can run a mower straight over them. :(<br />Bring back the sheep - Oh, so simple.Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.com
