Owners and staff have received death threats during the six-year onslaught.

The family said they hoped the decision would prompt the return of the body of their relative Gladys Hammond, whose remains were stolen from a churchyard.

The remains were taken from her grave in nearby Yoxall in October.

Mrs Hammond, who was buried in St Peter's churchyard seven years ago, was the mother-in-law of Christopher Hall, part-owner of the farm .

I understand people taking action aimed at the civil authorities but I don’t agree that action (not passive protests) aimed directly at people who are not breaking any law is acceptable, that to me becomes vigilantism.
