The petitioners, who lived outside the parish but had relatives buried in the churchyard, sought a faculty for the reservation of a grave space. There was approximately three years' worth of space for burials remaining in the churchyard. The Parochial Church Council and the incumbent did not support the petition. The chancellor held that the petition must be dismissed where the incumbent had refused her consent. In addition, where so little space remained in the churchyard the court was further constrained from granting the faculty. The petition was dismissed. [RA]
