Old Gravestones

Christ Church has removed all the old gravestones and formed a boundary fence with them around a grassed area, once used as a burial ground. They have planted a hedge along the west side which hides the inscriptions on the old stones. Why was the hedge not planted on the other side of the grave stones so they could still be read?
