Yes I'm sure you're right. My mate's sister did Law at Kings in the early 80's and went to work for Brent Council (London) - her first task was to determine the correct procedure to deconsecrate and secularise an old disused Church yard so it could be converted into playing fields. The problem being local by-laws stretching into antiquity that forbad the playing of fooballe on Church grounds.
A house in my home town has a clause in the deeds forbidding the holding of boxing matches on the premises. Seems things could get rowdy in Victorian times.
