I find it hard to imagine any concept of heaven populated with the ultra religious of any sect. In fact it sounds more like a series of hells. Methodists here, CofE there, Presbyterians on this side, 7th Day whatever... shudder.

You go to Heaven for the view, Hell for the company.

It's one of the ways Archaeologists use to track the advent of Christianity in Saxon England, as Pagan Saxon graves were normally N-S orientation.

Reminds me of the Blackadder quote that "Heaven is for people who like doing things that go on in Heaven, like singing hymns and watering pot plants......whereas Hell is for people who like the same things you do..." :D

Especially useful in this instance as it was freshly Norman built, not a saxon supplanted one.

the Churchyard also holds an ANZAC cemetary.

Great forethought by those Normans to include an ANZAC cemetary
