Stratford on Avon to use Burials Act for cemetery
The Stratford on Avon Town Council debated cemetery laws after weighing Marten's Act against the new Burials Act. They considered wall costs, land access, and distances from dwellings, ultimately adjourning to adopt the Burials Act and forming a local burial board to manage the project. Councillors argued for self administration to benefit the parish and unemployed locals.

The Darlington Rural Sanitary Authority committee finds only two of sixteen churchyards unsanitary now and five require future closure, leaving fourteen sixteenths of the Nonconformist grievance unaddressed by Mr Marten's Act. The report, led by clergy and Church Defence Association leaders, questions the Beaconsfieldian remedy and credits Dr Eastwood for revealing the plan's limits.
