No they are not exhuming the graves.

The church was closed about 5 years ago - you are talking about the one at Rising Bridge - St John's Stonefold. The church was sold last year and planning permission was given to turn it into a 4 bed room home. The person who bought it from the diocese then put it up for sale after getting the planning permission. It has recently been sold again and now the person who bought it is now turning it into a 4 bed home and the work started a couple of weeks ago. What it is is someone has decided to put these placards up after the work has started. Theyve cordoned of the churchyard away from the church but theyve knocked down the walls so as to get work vehicles in. There are graves just behind one of the walls that was knocked down. I think it was knocked down by a lorry turning into the garage again.

I would know if they were doing any exhuming on that church yard because i was in there on Friday putting a wreath on my mum & dads grave in there.
