[DCRM-L] Church-yard or Church-Yard? And does the hyphen make any difference?

[Noah Sheola]

Hello all,
When transcribing the imprint "St. Paul's Church-yard" in sentence case, I
notice many catalogers convert/retain the lowercase y in yard. Is the idea
here that we do not capitalize the latter parts of a hyphenated compound
word even when it's part of a proper noun? I'm having trouble identifying
the guiding principle here. Thanks,
- Noah
