Next Village to my Upchurch. "Edith May" on her home berth. I watched her restoration by Eric Geoff and Ed Gransden as it progressed to completion. :)

Clue:  A waterway passes through the grounds. I'm guessing that it's on its way to the River Medway.

I visited there as a very young person, with my mother and a coachload of her Townswomen Guild adventurers.

Think the WI without the Jerusalem….

Come on someone other than the Usual Suspects, it’s definitely not rocket science, and quite enjoyable.

It's called a castle but I don't think it's a true castle.

Can't be seen on GSV but can be seen in Google's aerial maps  (as per my photo).

Thanks Beachbum.  I hadn't realised I'd passed 3000 posts until you mentioned it. 

Next one ....   Should be easy.

What and where.  Add some history for bonus points.
