churchyard
Part of speech: noun

Ayot St Lawrence's most famous inhabitant, George Bernard Shaw, moved into the New Rectory in 1906 because, it is said, of a gravestone epitaph in the churchyard. This recorded the death of a woman who lived to be 70 with the comment 'Her time was short'. Shaw thought that a place that considered a life of 70 years short was the right place for him.

examples: culm dump
culm pile
Q. (By Mr. Manager FLOYD.) Mr. Rittenhouse, what do you mean in your report by the slush pile?—A. I mean the waste that goes through the finest mesh that they use. It is called tailings; it is called slush.
Q. State the origin and meaning of the word "culm" of the term "culm dump."—A. Culm meant and means anything that is waste. Back in the early days it was called culm when they put chestnut in the pile; it was all the waste rock and the material that was thrown out in the breaker; rough coal and slate were thrown indiscriminately on this pile, and it was called culm pile. As the years went by and they used chestnut coal, when that was taken up the coal before it went to the culm dump. It was the same way with pea coal; following that, buckwheat No. 1; then again No. 2, and again No. 8; so that now what represents culm or culm pile, as it goes by, is the finest sand or silt as it goes through three thirty-seconds or the eighth of an inch or the sixteenth of an inch mesh, whatever they happen to use. Sometimes that is separated, and when it is separated and the slate in larger pieces is not mixed with it it is a slush.
Q. In the common acceptation of the term a culm dump is the material in the dump made from coal mines, including particles of coal and other waste, is it?—A. Yes, sir.
gloss: Anthracite, especially when found in small masses.
