Angry village residents have found themselves blocked from accessing their local graveyard and church by the new proprietors of Well Vale Hall near Alford.
Two families have been waiting to fix memorial headstones to the graves of their loved ones, and an elderly man has been unable to fulfil his late wife's wishes to have her ashes interred next to a relative in the churchyard.While there is an alternative route to the church via a public footpath, it is steep and features stiles, making it unsuitable for the elderly, families with young children, and people with disabilities or mobility issues.
"There is a public footpath that accesses the church, it's not impassable, but it goes up a very steep bank.The alternative route is steep and includes stiles like this one.
