    consecrated part. There is a tradition connected with the local graveyard, that a grand hunting horn was found in one of the enclosed graves by some children about 50 years ago. This was carefully put back again by some old person and left there.
    Local people still go to their family burial ground to be laid to rest and even if the journey is twenty or thirty miles away, the deceased are still taken there. This custom never seems to change, and there is no prospect of it ever changing.
