Description 1 online resource (xv, 427 pages) : illustrations, maps Summary Julie Rugg explores the turbulent social history of churchyards and cemeteries over the last 150 years. Using sites from across rural North Yorkshire, the text examines the workings of the Burial Acts and discloses the ways in which religious politics framed burial management. It presents an alternative history of burial which questions notions of tradition and modernity, and challenges long-standing assumptions about changing attitudes towards mortality in England Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 402-416) and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (JSTOR, viewed August 17, 2016) Subject Cemeteries -- England -- North Yorkshire -- History Burial -- England -- North Yorkshire -- History Mortality -- England -- North Yorkshire -- History Death -- Social aspects -- England -- North Yorkshire -- History British & Irish History.
