medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture re Morris: Yes, I'd forgotten he said that; of course the buildings I mentioned (along with a great many other cathedral and greatr abbey churches) where not entirely rebuilt at that stage, and so preserved older, poorer orientations. Winchester - hugely enlarged at that era but respecting a C7 orientation until the 1079 rebuild - is a case in point.
 
re Benson: no, this research was in the last ten years. I recall an article on it in British Archaeology magazine. Frustrating.

Were you perhaps thinking of the article by H Benson: Church Orientation and Patronal Festivals, Antiquaries Journal, 36, 1956, pp205-13? 
 
Richard Morris,  (Churches in the Countryside) suggests, however, the possibility that a greater desire for strictness in arose out of the Benedictine reforms of the tenth century (pp208-9).
