Hi,
please don't forget you can search this hugely informative website from the box at top righthand of the main homepage.http://www.forest-of-dean.net/
Alternatively you can visit the individual sections, eg the Photo Gallery.
http://www.forest-of-dean.net/gallery/christchurch/
And in the first page of the Churches section you'll see a couple of old views of Christchurch, one is from 2002 which I guess is the one you've found. I don't know the Church firsthand but I presume the Graves are behind it, this photo being taken from the main road.

Searching the net gave this site which has a satellite photo of the Church, if you zoom into the photo it shows a large graveyard behind the Church.

Furthermore the Resources section carries a huge amount of material that may help you, the Documents section carries a huge amount of old articles, newspaper cuttings etc and makes great browsing which can often give unexpected results relevant to your researches.
Also in the Resources Section you'll find several Memorial Inscriptions taken from Christchurch Graveyard, including over thirty Powells. In these sections the blue headings are usually hyperlinks, click your pointer on them to enter that sub-section.

It's always worth searching this forum thoroughly before posting as very often enquiries such as yours will have been made in earlier years. You may also find other users enquiring about your family, possibly even distant/new relatives. Use the Forum's own searchbox at topright, as I have just done to find these old threads which should help you.

The first of these contains links to sites containing more detail about Christchurch and it's location, including contact details to ask the Church direct.

Hope this helps, Jeff

PS SORRY !
I've just realised some of the links contained within the above old posts will not work (if they are directed to other forum posts) they'll just return you to the "new" home page. This is a result of last year's forum update. Usually if I find one of my old posts has these dead links I'll edit the post accordingly, but in this instance I cannot as the threads are locked, sorry.
Here is the direct link for one of the Christchurch graves threads which I referred to within one of the old threads.
