A family of farmers have converted their land into a cemetery in a highly creative method of making cash.
The owners of Castle View Farm in Bottesford, Leicestershire have transformed what was once an 'unproductive' 10-acre spring barley field into a new and innovative source of income.
The 136-hectare family farm is run by husband and wife James and Claire Goodson and comprises of livery stables, a lake for fishing, alongside solar panels.
Speaking about the challenges farmers face in generating unique sources of income, Ms Goodson, 54, told The Telegraph that many had been forced to 'diversify' as a result of Rachel Reeves' inheritance tax raid.
The new policy outlined in the October budget means farmers are set to pay inheritance tax on agricultural property and land worth more than £1million at a rate of 20 per cent - half the main base rate - from April 2026.
