No person shall be allowed to place glass shades in the churchyard

This very old church still exists for its people. it and the grounds and its graves are well tended. The village it serves is now quite small. Many of the houses around here are B&Bs.

This must have been controversial. But what were glass shades? Google found a page about people using glass chippings to decorate graves in Britain. Perhaps 100 years later, they still do.

We visit all the churches we come across. Today I attended services at the nearby Patterdale Methodist—Episcopal Church. It was a great experience. They let outsiders participate in the Eucharist, too. Today was the Episcopal priest’s turn. The Methodist pastor is coming next week. Andrew, the priest, said it is a blended service. I ask if they would sing hymns by a Wesley then. He laughed and said yes.
