Sexton

A sexton is a church offical charged with maintaining the church property. Large churches my employ a dozen or more sextons at a time, each with an assigned section or job, while a small church might have only one on staff, responsible for all minor duties. It's not uncommon for very small churches to forego hiring a gravedigger, assigning the duty to the sexton instead.
