Heritage Sustainability

Mary J. Thornbush and Sylvia E. Thornbush

Abstract

Cultural heritage has continued to be explored by several organisations in the UK. Understanding heritage is important in learning about current society, and, in several ways, the churchyard is a strong source for learning about cultural history. The changing styles of headstone inscriptions provide information about the socioeconomics of a place; and regional styles provide information on the fashion of the time and the understanding of material culture.
