The new owners of a South Lincolnshire green burial ground | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
are promising to tidy it up after it became so overgrown, | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
people could no longer find their loved ones' gravds. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
For most of this year, family and friends have been unable | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
to locate plots in Sutterton because they were covered | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
You've heard of a beer garddn, but behind this former vill`ge pub | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
is a woodland the same size of three football pitches. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
People come here to walk the dog and get some air, | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
but part of the site is also a natural burial ground, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
where graves are marked with a tree or a small plaque, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
the woodland stopped being cared for. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
It meant that the weeds and reeds grew as high as this. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
It made it difficult, sometimes impossible, for pdople | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
It was a situation that upsdt Alan, who comes here to be with hhs wife. | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
It was very distressing, because at the time, | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
my wife was only just buried, so I just felt that I wanted | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
to do something, not only for myself, but for other pdople. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
So he picked up his strimmer and started tending | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Well, I had one couple, her mother's husband is burhed here, | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
I eventually pinpointed it, I cleared all the site | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
and she was so overwhelmed, they were actually in tears. | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
A lot of people have apprechated what I've been doing so thex can | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
come and see their loved onds. but there is still so much | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
of the site to clear. Although it is a natural | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
burial ground, Angela says it is important that people can | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
find their loved ones. The natural part of it | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
are the trees, not the grass being overgrown and covering stones | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
up, you know, that people h`ve laid. Now the site's new owners | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
have told BBC Look North they're going to reopen the pub | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
and are promising to help But they add, the more volunteers | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
who come forward to help, the easier it'll make | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
things for those who are Laura Foster, | :02:20. | :02:21. | |

with Jennifer Bartram. We've seen a good deal of dry | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
and fine weather this afternoon As we go through the night, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
there will be one or two showers just pushing | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
in on that easterly breeze, gradually strengthening | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
through the night. They will blow through, | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
though, and some clear spells to around 7 or 8 Celsius | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
on the whole. For Sunday, we start the dax | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
off very much like today There will be some sunny spdlls | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
as we head through the day, but still one or two | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
scattered showers. That's it for today, we will be back | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
tomorrow just after six o'clock Goodbye. | :05:02. | :05:26. | |
Not a bad start but we will see some mist and fog overnight. Southern | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
England, we will have some extensive low cloud and patchy fog. Further | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
west huddle in the countryside, with clearer skies, it will be quite | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
chilly night. Not very promising in the morning across these central | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
areas. Fog slowly lifting as the breeze freshens. For western | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Scotland, it should be a decent day after a chilly start. There will be | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
some sunshine, and largely dry. Eastern Scotland, showers have been | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
more widely. On the whole, for northern parts of the UK, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
temperatures will be lower than today. Northern Ireland, perhaps not | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
as many | :06:09. | :06:09. |
