Are these houses built on a cemetery?

Oh no, was the amazing reply this is not cemetery land.
I suppose those in the house selling business, would call that, being economic with the truth, strickly speaking as they were standing in a house on a building site, it could hardly be called a cemetery.
If the questioner had walked through the cemetery and looked at the RBC site maps on display, they would have seen quite clearly the site now with 24 houses being built on it, was marked as Plots 28 - 33.
Confusion could quite easily have been created when the cemetery land was originally offered for sale - page 55 Staines & Egham News June 2004 - "Land at Blays Lane for disposal" No mention was made that the land was a cemetery and that the Council had to go to Law to get the Covenant lifted. One of the terms of that Covenant stated that the land should not be used for building and was to be used for bural purposes only. How wise and far seeing they were way back in 1929 to try and prevent a land grab. How clever RBC were in 2004 to choose the correct wording of the advert so that no embarrassment is caused at time of sale. Not everyone would choose to live in a cemetery!
