   Reusing old graves? The plot thickens!

     “Reusing old graves? The plot thickens!”

     Not at all. In England (and elsewhere in Europe) some churches have been standing for around a thousand years or more and by the 19th century the churchyards were so full that it was impossible to dig a grave without coming across an earlier burial. In those cases the earlier bones were removed to a charnal house for storage and the grave was reused. Look it up, it’s very interesting.

     Also, “Fag Fellows” would refer to first year private school pupils who were called “fags”. The American meaning for fag was not used in England (and still isn’t, generally) where “fag” has two meanings: a first year private school pupil or a cigarette.
