Churchyard

There is a “joke” from beyond the grave in the churchyard: Joseph Tomlinson is recorded on his gravestone as being the only man to have ever died on 30th February (1955). If you wish to find his grave it is on the third row from the fence at the top of the churchyard, a small brown stone leaning forwards near to an angel in the row in front.
