Plans to build houses on the site of a graveyard in the Rhondda valley provoke local anger.
Relatives of people buried in a graveyard in the Rhondda valley in Wales are furious at plans to build housing on the land.
The Church In Wales has applied for planning permission for the graveyard of St John's church in Tonyrefail.
If the plans go ahead it will be the first time that exhumations have taken place to facilitate a housing development in the UK.
The Welsh Anglican body says the closed graveyard is an eyesore and a drain on resources.
