I realise this topic has been covered in a similar thread about leylandi
trees, but I was wondering what I could do about the trees that are in the
churchyard behind my garden, I would like them to be trimmed a bit so that
my garden gets a lot more sunlight in the next year.

The prob is that it is a cemetary, is there still a legal height for these
sorts of places to have the trees growing?

I dont want the trees chopped down, just trimmed a bit.

Before you get into legal chat, why don't you approach someone in the
cemetery office/lodge, usually somewhere near the main gates?
You may find that a friendly request gets the results you want. Have a chat
with other affected neighbours first ( you may not be the only sufferer) as
this may strengthen your position.
I don't know the legal boundary height in this situation, but it is probably
worth talking to the Council responsible for the cemetery. They would have
to know this law. They - or their contracted tree surgeon - will probably
have to deal with the proposed lopping. I very much doubt that the cemetery
groundsman would take on such a big job.
