General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - yes
    • Original comment: Content seems to be cited, but the citation needs to be at the end of the sentence immediately following the hook fact per WP:DYK#Cited hook. I.e. In 1829–30 the church authorities employed local builders Benjamin Chase and James Cullis to build huts for grave-watchers at the northwest and southeast corners of the churchyard. Grave-watchers would stand in them and watch out for body snatchers.[12] The single-storey structures are of flint and brick.[12]
