Wikipedia has it that the village name was “tweaked “ in the 1950s to differentiate it from similarly named places in east Kent.

Very quiet.


This has an unusual dedication, but don’t forget to go West from the last place. Easily seen on Google Maps, just not on street view.


Maybe Blackadder will Hatch a clue?

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.
