thank you - I see from internet posts that the church is to close or has closed - does anyone know what has happened?

Does not look closed at the moment, have you tried to contact them by phone, letter or email?

Hi, tried email but seems churches don't respond that way despite email addresses offered as a point of contact. Will have to try the phone when I'm feeling better.

I went and had a look at St Leonard's this afternoon, there was a page pinned up with details of services for May so it is still functioning at present.  I spoke to someone who must have been with the "secret Garden group" mentioned who said that area was never part of the burial ground.  But there are plenty of headstones in the main churchyard and some smaller memorial stones- perhaps for those who were cremated?

thanks for taking the time out to investigate, best wishes!
