What do you tag/call a place where the people of the village gather or 
stop to celebrate St Mary?
Seeing the sign on the IGN map, I first thought it was a chapel until I 
made a trip to see it.
And it looks like they cherish it as the chapel they can't afford.

I wrote to the clergyman for a name and he didn't reply. I may let you 
know their address.
So, I asked the people around and that's the best they refer to it.
I thought that a name was what you call something.

This is how I described it:

How can you call that a box or a niche in a wall?

Thanks to all.

Oh dear.

You should fix that !!!
