@LichfieldLore They are much more common than I think people allow for and they carve themselves not only into the psychic landscape of place through folklore, but also inscribe as place names.

@LichfieldLore The false perception that every village had a church often obscures the profoundly practical and widespread need for corpse roads/lanes.

@LichfieldLore We of course have modern corpse roads – no-one wants to live close to municipal crematorium – and I often wonder whether they will carve their own future folklore.
