And do chapels tend to orientate themselves in any particular way?

I believe it is with the alter end in a general easterly direction. Whether this applies to more modern churches I don't know.
I think that's a village hall or a church hall, rather than a church or chapel.

Well it's about the right size and shape to be one, and we seem to be in a seaside location, so quite possibly.

They must have been expecting a very high tide though ;)

If the shadows are facing east at sun setting in the West, the night stars at early dusk North
 (If they are stars?) and the chapel entrance facing east and that means the photo was taken
from the South South West (Maybe South coast, South Wales or South Suffolk)
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Would the length of shadows help at all?  (short = noon long = dusk? :-\ )

Not in front of clouds and trees, you don't. They are speckles.
