I heard on the grapevine this evening that at the Harvest Festival in St. Mary's church there was less than 10 people in attendance. Is Calne getting that god-less??

i quite often have to walk through st marys chuch then i use the alley what leads to the green.
im amzed that some thought less idiot let there dog crap at the top of the step what leads to st marys chuch and the amount of rubbish what people leave in that alleyway.as for the church its self its a beutifu property of calne what is looked after so well and often see gardeners there .The best thing though as one day as i walked home through there some one was practicing playing the organ.I sat outside and listened it was reallynice to hear.if i had more time that day i would have went in to listen.
am i right in saying that they no longer bury people there?
