I guess that heap of shrouds and fragments of coffin lids was getting to be a bit unsightly.

Dickens would have enjoyed this, I think.

As you probably know, St Mary's was his parish church.

Tempting to think it would be heaps of shrouds, but more likely it would be sad piles of spent chrysanthemums.

The church sits at the very end of a road that peters out into the marshes. It's a lonely- rather wonderful- place.

Our nearby Old Burying-Ground (dug 1635) bears signs at either gate:
