The church of St. Mary, in Lower Gravenhurst, dates from the 14th Century and the churchyard is typical of the many disused churches scattered over England. The grounds where the faithful are buried are consecrated areas—set aside for sacred use in perpetuity by the Bishop of the diocese signing a Sentence of Consecration. The limits of the consecrated area aren't necessarily the whole churchyard and can be as small as a single grave.
