The chancellor refused a petition by the local authority for permission to carry out the physical testing of memorials in the consecrated parts of the cemeteries. Despite purporting to do so, the proposed regime failed to comply with diocesan guidelines for such testing. The chancellor invited the petitioner to discuss any future proposals with the registrar before submitting any future petition. [RA]
