Don't think it's the same.
If you mean the location I tend to agree ... I'm not entirely sold on the location being the Janus Gate, even though that gate seems to match the mystery image better than any other arched structure on the church grounds.
If the mystery image is of the Janus Gate it was taken from inside the churchyard. If this is the case the stone wall should be clearly visible in the vicinity of the mystery figure, and I don't believe I see it in there.
The gateway opens immediately onto the Hickleton Road. I'm having a hard time convincing myself the vegetation on the other side of the road (from the gate) is the same background seen in the mystery photo.
Having said that ... I do suspect the 'naked walker' figure is a simulacrum. It might also be a distorted artifact caused by digital frame grabbing and a moving object.
I doubt we'll be able to determine much more without seeing the actual video from which the image was taken (and presumably cropped). It wouldn't surprise me if the mystery image was actually captured somewhere else on the adjacent estate's grounds. The news items merely say the couple captured the mystery image while visiting St. Wilfrid's. That doesn't necessarily mean the mystery image footage was captured on or within the church grounds proper.
