When I was at Peacefield Primary School many years ago the headteacher told everyone in an assembly that the school may be haunted because it was next to a grave yard, and on another occasion said that the school wasn't allowed to build a fence across the field to separate the school from the college, and I have been told a couple of times over the last couple of years that there were plans for the field to be turned into allotments as houses weren't allowed to be built there as it was the sight of an old graveyard. I have also read about the plans for allotments, I thought it was on here but I searched the forums and nothing comes up. Must have been in the paper.
Does anyone know the origin of the name Peacefield?
Is there anything legally stopping houses being build on old graveyards?
And was there ever a church on Cross Lane/surrounding area and if not could there still have been a graveyard?
Is it common for grave yards to just be turned back into fields?
