Question 1: Will a normal TRV do for this purpose - or should I try to
find a thermostatic valve that is designed to be fitted in-line
(couldn't find such a valve at B.E.S.)

But how would you fit a standard TRV inline? They are designed
for one end to go on the radiator.

....... Drayton TRV 4 will allow standard 15mm connection at both ends.

Question 2: Pipes from radiators usually run downwards, and so most
valves are designed with the inlet or outlet pointing downwards. Does
anyone know where I can buy one with an inlet/oulet running parallel
to the floor? (I couldn't find one at B.E.S.)

What you need is an inline TRV, e.g. Screwfix 15000.
