[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 823548, member: 53455"] The small village of Camboulit in the Aquitaine region (southwestern France) is particular as it includes the romantic ruins of a Romanesque church built during the first half of the 1100s. It is mentioned in 1146 among the possessions of the abbey of Saint Sauveur in the town of Figeac. It was given over to the Protestants in 1562 and used as a temple for a while. It was listed as a Historic Landmark in 1912. My reconstruction of things is that in the Middle Ages, the cemetery was of course around the church. Then, when (late 19th century) sanitation and hygiene regulations made it mandatory to move cemeteries outside of settlements and decommission the ones within, this one survived as, over the centuries, the village itself had moved slightly away, so that the cemetery and the old parish church, now ruined, were far enough to remain.
