 This photo was taken at Borley Church, said to be the most haunted place in England...I have never seen a caged grave like this and can find no record as to why it would be. I do know that it is victorian. If anyone can tell me anything about the cage I would be very interested.

Must be the mother in law!! In Argentina there is a saying that goes along the lines of "bury her face down in case she comes back to life, she keeps digging further"!

Interesting, never seen a grave like this! IMO this shot would have done much better if it was straight and with a shallow DOF.. 6

I'm guessing it's to keep people out not in. A crypt buried above ground.
