I have been reading your comments about Churchyard Conservation with interest as a similar thing happened in my village 13 years ago.
The village's Churchyard is still maintained along Churchyard Conservation principles and has come first in the Northamptionshire Wildlife Trust Competition 8 times. The Churchyard is a real assert to the village now, with articles being written about it in magazines and people coming toa take photographs on a regular basis, expecially in the spring when the cowslips and Fritillaries are in flower.
From looking at it as an outsider, I just wonder how many people complaining about the grass not being cut in the Churchyard have actually volunteered to cut the grass?
Even if those people did volunteer to cut the grass, I suspect the novelty has warn off by now (My father has cut the grass in the churchyard for the last 43 years, with very little assistance. Volunteers don't last long !!)
