Re: ST JAMES CHURCH Accrington

That diagonal path on the right was 1/2 built then removed. I suspect because they put cheap concrete edging in instead of the correct stone that was supposed to be used.

Did you know that many of the tombstones are being buried here?

There is a row of them at the St James st side with another row buried underneath them.

I spoke to a lady who had done all the recording of the site beforehand and she was not pleased with what they were doing with the tombstones.
These tombstones are from prominent people in Accrington's history.

IMO there is plenty of room to put them out so they can still be seen by interested people without the need to bury them.
