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.

How can you call that a box or a niche in a wall?
Thanks to all.
Oh dear.
