Extract from book page which says THE VILLAGE CHURCH A village has to have a church; those are the rules. For hundreds of years, the village church has been the center of village life and death, with emphasis on the last one. It is the biggest, grandest, highest building around. It has fonts to drown in, vaults to be sealed in, a bell tower to fall from, and an altar to be sacrificed on. The vicar will find your body if you venture here. THE CHURCHYARD Behind the village church. Literally the village body dump. It's full of headstones of various ages, some crooked and sinking into the earth, and some still covered in fresh stonecutting dust. Someone's always going in at night to leave flowers or keys or letters-or any combination of the three. It's busier than the train station. Technically you're supposed to be dead before you end up here, but villagers aren't strict about this.
