For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Historically many thousands of Catholics were buried in C of E graveyards simply because it was the only graveyard serving the local community. The Roman Catholic Church was suppressed for hundreds of years in this country, so there were relatively few RC churches and/or graveyards.
The town where I now live didn't even have its own graveyard for most of its existence (despite having a large C of E church), with bodies being taken several miles away to the graveyard alongside the main parish church (irrespective of the faith, or lack of it, of the deceased). We now have a burial ground which is officially linked to the C of E church but which is actually used by all denominations.
