A good set Dave. Both portrait and landscape versions have their merits.
In the first the grave stones give a nice diagonal lead in to the left, then along the church to the porch and the tower. The sky is perhaps a little too heavy against the lighter tones in the rest of the photo. in the colour version the grass for me is too bright and saturated (something more like the landscape version would be better).
In V2 & V3 the eye goes straight to the church which dominates the view, as it should, so the the top of the gravestone which concerned you isn't really a distraction. In a way it anchors the image in that corner. the sky is better balanced too, particularly in the mono. I think the colour works better here, the mono is just a bit flat.
I hope you appreciate this rather lengthy critique in the spirit it is offered, James

I used your V1 to do a mod where the biggest change I did was to reduce the yellows so that the grass wasn't the same mid grey as the shurch. I boosted the reds a touch for the stonework and reduced blues for a more dramatic sky.
I then added a vignette.
All of which was to make the building much more prominent.
Quick changes, and you could fine tune them better on the full size original.
