The other church in this village had a connection with Royal Greenwich Observatory and the Paris Observatory

1:  A curate of this village, was prosecuted by an Archdeacon's Court for playing cricket on Sunday evening after prayers.
2:  Very close to a previous GTP by another member.

Pete. Bal ham( "The Road To", I think?). That was a record by Peter Sellers. You obviously were also a Goon Fan? Happy days. Another of my "asides", sorry folks.

It looks like a chapel (possibly Methodist) or has it been converted into a private house?


You are on the right track MartinR but I believe it's still an active Methodist church according to their website.

Thanks JohnFilmer,


I had a bit of luck there as I started off searching to see if it was connected with Thurnham Castle.  That put me close to the right area.


Next one ... A nice easy one   :)

You are right JW, it is the entrance to Boxley Abbey.


I went there to advise on heating options for some proposed outbuilding conversions. I also was invited into the house to discuss them. The details are lost, but I remember being amazed at the historic artefacts that were literally everywhere. No camera phone then, so no sneaky pics.


Back to you.

I think it's the ruins of Boxley Abbey Gateway
