I saw the following post on the English Civil War Society forum and thought it might be of interest to some on this group. **************** In Morley near Leeds there is a church with undisturbed English Civil War graves in an excellent state of preservation. Recently planning permission to alter use of St Mary's in the Wood was advertised. Just in case you missed this, here's the low down. The developer who now owns the site is currently seeking planning permission for: alterations and addition of new mezzanine floors to vacant church, to form restaurant and 9 hotels suites and erect 3 storey detached block of 30 hotel rooms, with removal/relocation of gravestones, new car parking and landscaping. There are no plans to re-site the stones, or to study the archaeology of the site. You can view this here, and make objections online at http://planningapplications.leeds.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?caseno=KX7XY6JB0FZ00 Please click through and add comments or object, it's your right to have a say on this matter. Detailed planning drawings are now available on this site too showing plans to remove gravestones and trees for car parking. When we talk about Morley being mentioned in the Domesday book it's this site in particular that was listed. This is our history, the people who made the town what it is.
