Many thanks to all who replied. It does seem that there is indeed some zoning of burials in England, but perhaps not very consistently applied. It would certainly help researchers if the cemetery plan indicated the section where one might expect to find, say, Catholic or Nonconfomist forebears. And, from the point of view of the bereaved, they might prefer burials to be with those the deceased was close to in life. Lynda Burke, nee Chetwood
