    3. Hello, We have a similar situation at St Agnes. The Stilefields Cemetery, around and behind St Agnes Museum, is split into two sections. The righthand part is the consecrated part for CofE, and the lefthand, for non-conformists, i.e. generally Methodist. The Chapel of Rest, now the Museum, was similarly split, with a 9" thick wall between the two so that one party couldn't hear what was happening next door, and two identical entrances, originally with two separate paths leading to the building.
