churchyard
n.
church's grounds, graveyard of a church
Churchyard
A churchyard is a patch of land adjoining or surrounding a
church which is usually owned by the relevant church or local
parish itself. In the
Scots language or Northern
English language this can also be known as a kirkyard or kirkyaird. A churchyard should not be confused with a
graveyard or a
cemetery. While churchyards were historically often used as graveyards, they can also be any patch of land on church grounds, even without a place of burial.

About
Churchyard
To dream of walking in a churchyard, if in winter, denotes that you are to have a long and bitter struggle with poverty, and you will reside far from the home of your childhood, and friends will be separated from you; but if you see the signs of springtime, you will walk up in into pleasant places and enjoy the society of friends. For lovers to dream of being in a churchyard means they will never marry each other, but will see others fill their places.
