Abstract
In this chapter, the methodology of the churchyard research is outlined. This includes introducing the sites located along the transect that are the focus of this brief and the sampling method deployed in a selection of the study cities, including Oxford and Inverness as well as Scarborough as a coastal town. In addition to methods of data collection, data analysis is also delineated for six sites, including four churchyards in Oxford (St. Giles, St. Mary Magdalen , St. Peter-in-the-East at St. Edmund Hall , University of Oxford, and St. Cross at St. Cross College, University of Oxford) and one each for the other focal locations, respectively, St. Mary (Scarborough) and Old High or St. Stephen (Inverness). Details regarding the location of each site and some background information are provided.
