ooooer A sexton is a church officer charged with the maintenance of the church buildings and/or the surrounding graveyard. In smaller churches, this office is often combined with that of verger. I do know someone somewhere in my family was a grave digger, maybe this is him. So he fed them so much ale that they died, then he would dig them a hole lol That is a strage combo on occs lol |
