"I am not sure about dumping in churches either"
Do you mean in the faecal sense, your earlier post mentioning the installation of a toilet and septic tank.
Long tradition of at least urinating in churches - in the 16th and 17th century one onof the places that the saltpetre men dug up earth to extract saltpetre was church floors where "women pissed atte their seats"
presumably during long services. the nitrate was the component used (privies and doocots and hen houses were also favoured targets for the satpetre men)
