I think that this usually occurred when two (or more) adjacent manors or
parishes built their churches in the same plot of land for convenience. My
understanding is that this was the case at Willingale in Essex where St
Christopher Willingale Doe and St Andrew Willingale Spain share the same
churchyard. I had read that there are churchyards in East Anglia with more
than two churches, but I am not so well up on Norfolk and Suffolk
