Thinking back it must have been about 30 years ago. They had had problems with breaking of headstones at the time. Perhaps they thought I looked a bit like a vandal.

Many years ago now I was approached by a “Keeper” and told that it was not allowed to take pictures of graves unless you had a family connection. Whether this was correct I know not.

The council did try putting a rule out to state that you needed permission from the relatives to take phots of grave marker in Birmingham. I raised the issue with some of the elected members who quickly quashed it.
