  Thomas Churchyard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Churchyard mocked Camel's classical, Latinate sophistication, and Camel attacked Churchyard's churlish words and "uncouth speeche." This public controversy resembled the old medieval practice of flyting--a staged, collaborative battle of the wits that was also, in this case, an occasion for the public discussion of moral issues, education, religion, and politics.
Churchyard arranged the terms of surrender, and was sent with his chief to Paris as a prisoner.
Churchyard was employed to devise a pageant for the queen's reception at Bristol in 1574, and again at Norwich in 1578.

 A Typical Churchyard? by Iain Soden
Recently public interest in churchyards has been fuelled by a crop of archaeological television programmes, and parishes are increasingly aware of archaeologically-led DAC interest where graves have to be exhumed, due to the requirement for a faculty under the provisions of the 1991 Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure.
The challenge facing anyone interested in the alteration or investigation of churchyards in this new century is to walk a tightrope between respecting the secular world which continues to look upon them as picture-postcards of immense historic importance, and respecting the Mission of the Church which targets the living.
More and more we are seeing moves to make use of churchyards for more than just the disposal of the dead, a responsibility passed more widely to local authorities as both attitudes to the Church and the need for more burial space have changed.

 The Borough Churchyard - Norfolk Highlights - Chapter 17
Although the churchyard was provided for when Norfolk was laid out in 1680-81, there are no original gravestones there remaining from that period, the three Seventeenth Century stones there having been brought from other places in Tidewater.
Pathetic though this is, history records the cynical fact that the husband was not long without consolation, for the records of the Norfolk Corporation Court show that not quite a year after the death of his wife and children, he was again on the way to the altar.
Seven former mayors of Norfolk are buried in St. Paul's churchyard: John Tucker, Dr. John K. Read, Dr. James Taylor, Robert Taylor, John Hutchings, George Abyvon, and John Taylor, the elaborately carved armoral marker of the latter having been moved to its present place many years ago from the Taylor family cemetery in downtown Norfolk.

 Term Paper on Elegy in Churchyard
Elegy Written in a country churchyard ELEGY (WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD) By: Thomas Gray, 1716-1771 Thomas Gray’s Elegy laments the death of life in general while mourning long gone ancestors and exhibiting the transition made by the speaker, from grief and mourning to acceptance and hope.
It was written in 1742 and revised to its published form in 1746, and is one of the three highlights of the elegiac form in English literature, the others being Milton’s “Lycidas” and Tennyson’s In Memoriam.
The answer was that his friend will live on in his heart and later in his remains as supported by line 92: “...in our Ashes live their...fires”.

 Churchyard 5
After her husband's death in 1746, and the accession of her son to the chiefship, her jointure-house was at Ballintian of Nuide, and it is related that to her funeral a thousand men "fit for battle" assembled.
When the cortÈge reached St Columba's Churchyard, where her husband's remains had been interred some years previously, the Gynack (a tributary of the Spey in the immediate vicinity of the churchyard) being at the time in high flood, the grave was found to be nearly filled with water.
In place of being laid beside her husband, her remains were in consequence interred in the Middle Churchyard -- some two hundred yards distant -- and her grave is said to be near the northwest corner of the foundation of the church which at one time stood in that churchyard.
