The petitioners applied for a faculty for the erection of a headstone over the grave of their young son and the reservation of gravespaces for themselves on either side of that grave. The memorial did not comply with the diocesan churchyard regulations in a number of respects, including the size, material and shape of the headstone, the inclusion of kerbs and the use of an etched photograph and coloured paint. Neither the PCC nor the DAC supported the petition. A number of other headstones within the churchyard had been erected in breach of the regulations, but none to the same degree as that proposed. There had been serious delay in dealing with the deceased's headstone. The chancellor granted a faculty for the reservation of the two gravespaces but refused permission for the erection of the headstone, setting out acceptable parameters for an alternative headstone. In so doing the chancellor indicated that the reservation and any future permission for a headstone would be conditional upon no unauthorised items or memorials being placed on the grave or the two reserved gravespaces.
