In the middle ages founders and
patrons of ecclesiastical buildings be-
gan to be buried nearer and nearer to
the fabric Of the church or cathedral.
First the porch, then the cloister, then
the chapter house or chantry, came
under demand; the chancel was next
encroached upon, and lastly burials
were allowed under the altar itself. At
the other extreme Of custom was the
burial of malefactors and stillborn
