Ah there you see Willow. Everything is done for a reason.

I too was of the impression that the well was by the Eastern wall. However, looking at the graves in that portion of the churchyard they are all from the 1830's onward. The earliest map I have seen is the 1845 OS map. Which shows the outline we see today.

There are Three different styles of building visible on the exterior of the church: the medieval tower, the 18th century nave, and the 19th century chancel. The latter two extend the church successively in an Eastern direction. Is it possible, do you think, that the portion of the churchyard from the end of the nave to the current churchyard wall is an addition and that the churchyard originally ended where the current chancel begins. If so, this would place the architectural anomaly against the eastern wall.
