when I say "island", I was craving some tiny little clue. I could say "looks like granite or some metamorphic type, with crustose lichens" so likely to be SW England. Therefore guess N Cornwall.

You are right about the lichens though. The Xanthoria on the roof is usually an indicator of spray, and its position would suggest the building probably lies with its left edge in the South/West. I'm thinking South, as the door probably faces East.
I'm not with you on the granite though - I can't make out the grain size.

I was hedging bets on the granite..... Not much weather erosion, so pretty hard stuff anyway.
Given the daisies and (?) dandelions, this might be a recent photo, so the angle of the shadows means about midday. I'll go with the door facing E-ish. Alignment of ecclesiastical buildings is not always a clear cut E - W.

Yes, I had late morning, maybe 11am. The rocks probably are igneous, I can't see any obvious bedding planes. Only Igneous rocks I know in Wales are Pembs, so possibly North Devon?

Judging by the unique geological features coupled with the shadows being cast by the blades of grass I would hazard a guess at St Ives.

The steps are granite - obviously imported. The boulders look like finer grained igneous, possibly intermediate eg syenite.
I also concur with Pembrokeshire. St Davids area?
