There is not even one amenity=church_yard or churchyard (the latter being
the correct spelling).
Maybe you are confusing this with amenity=graveyard? These are burial
places on sacred ground aside a church (as opposed to cemetery).

IMHO if these (fenced) areas are on sacred ground, amenity=place_of_worship
should extend to there.
