Most medieval churches were either rectangular, more common for small churches, or cross shaped, which was more common for large ones.

If it was possible to do so, churches were also oriented with the sanctuary, with the altar, at the eastern end. This was not considered vital, but it was sufficiently prevalent that even if the church was oriented differently, the end of the church with the sanctuary was often referred to as the eastern end.
