Excerpt on Burials Bill and churchyard reform
The letter from Henry Barne, Vicar of Faringdon, recalls the 1861 and 1870 Burials Bills and argues for churchyard reform. It notes divisions, Liberal backing, and the shift toward open churchyards, with praise for the local infant school and its nonconformist support. The Nonconformist critique centers on state funding used to coerce conscience in a Church of England school.
