Our daily walk today took us through the old section of St Mary's churchyard that is separated from the church by Chalons Way. When the new road was constructed special arrangements had to be made for the tombstones and remains of the bodies that lay under the route. There have not been any burials here for many a year and although it is still a peaceful location near the town centre, many of the headstones are the worse for wear, much of the area has become overgrown and it is often a litter trap. Footpaths cross the site and are well used but if any organisation ever has any money to spare, it could be landscaped and made into a fitting memorial garden for those that have gone before.
