Sorry to have been awhile, now back at the laptop.
It was a guess Diapason, but the only church around here that I could think of in that style.
Next one - still a churchy one. This is only about 1000 years old, quite isolated and not visible on GSV. Stil in use.
The clue ( a big clue...) is that it is west from the last one.

Absolutely correct, John.


I was a bit concerned when I put this one up as I had never seen a photo (unique ?) of this aspect of the building (north side vestry) but hoped that the architecture would be recognisable.


I assumed, correctly, that either you or granderog would recognise it.

I can’t find picture of the correct aspect, but given the architecture clue, I’ll have a punt on St Catherine at Kingsdown.

I've found this one but I'll hold fire as I've had quite a few GTP entries recently.

It was the clues that gave it away  --  "5 miles east of Rochester".

I knew that it wasn`t Lower Halstow, Iwade, Bobbing (which I know very well) or Newington and, although I wasn`t 100% certain, it had to be Upchurch. Also I de-cropped it which definitely `gave the game away`.
 
Another ecclesiastical offering which I have been unable to turn. My original shows it in portrait form but it persists in landscape.

The architecture should give this one away.


I`ve just discovered that a single left click on the photo puts things right.

Well Done Diapason, Did you see it when you drove by. I thought one or two members would have when using the lower road rat run.


Over to you.
