Churn Knob

Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

Churn Knob (Barrow / Cairn Cemetery) by Chance The Vale of the White Horse District Council gave Mr Clements 30 days to take down the cross of Birinus.

Its removal ends a three year 'passive protest' by Mr Clements and his parishioners but he vowed the cross would be reinstated as close as possible to its original location. Mr Clements said: "It was taken down, but we have had to leave it up there, it was so heavy".

A picture is worth a thousand words. Assume it didn't fall on his head? Well, he does look rather like Father Ted in the article. What a first class walking Churnknob(al) case. GLADMAN Posted by GLADMAN
