The Christ Church in question is in the village of Great Lumley where there's a large graveyard. At the time the image was recorded there were notices declaring the graveyard to be closed as gravestones were to be tested for stability; it was ignored. (Note: The photographer has seen notices declaring graveyards to be closed on safety grounds elsewhere in County Durham; in one particularly the 'closure signs' must have been in place for well over a year!)
