Hi!
yes it seems the church does also lay East-West with the entrance and lych gate facing west whilst the parishioners would sit inside facing East.
The graves are located to the rear of the church for the most part and the headstone inscriptions face west toward the back of the church (so the theory that they are looking at the setting sun would be right in this case). I would have to assume the dead would have to have their feet at headstone end in order to face east?
Seems unlikely though doesn't it?
I may go and sneak a look at the next burial (if thats not too disrespectful)
Thanks for the info folks,
BJx
