Guess the Place

FYI

Well that had me totally confused.  When Stuart gave it as "Saint Marys Church, Sevington" I looked it up, and clearly it wasn't.  The spire and the body were quite wrong.  Then when John confirmed it I went looking further.  The church in the GTP is St. Mary the Virgin, Sevington Road, Willesborough.  This is a grade II* listed building (number 1071042) and is quite unusual in having the bipartite spire.  Listing details are at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1071042?section=official-list-entry and the location information is:

• Co-ords (WGS84):       51°08'14"N,000°53'57"E or 51.13710,0.89926

However, and this is the confusing bit, around half a mile to the south-east is St Mary's, Sevington.  Same name (nearly) and very close goegraphically.  This one is much plainer in plan and doesn't have the bipartite spire.  It is , however, grade I (1233902) and less "improved" from the original.  Listing at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1233902?section=official-list-entry.  Location:

Found it, but will hang fire

Your good wishes are appreciated, but on this occasion misplaced.  I had to take my son up to Mildenhall for an interview which was why I was away from the main machine.  Having said which, that was the first night away (other than hospital trips) since before the pandemic.  These drugs certainly mess you up, the only thing is that they keep the bloody cancer at bay and keep me above ground, so I'll keep taking them!

[John Walker]

Thanks MartinR. I hope you are recovered from your hospital trip. That one took some searching 

[MartinR]

Right, I'm back from darkest Suffolk.  John Walker has it.  From the viewpoint you can see the Thames and across the river to Essex.  You'll need binoculars though, or else a rather long lens.

You beat me to it John Walker.

Near the viewpoint at Cardiac Hill, Shorne Woods Country Park ?

[MartinR]

Must be a good half a dozen miles from there as a rather deranged crow might fly.  Google Maps shows things in Napoleonic units unfortunately.

PS: I'll be away from my computer from Sunday to Monday evening, so you'd better get it quick or there will be a delay.

[John Walker]

St Mary Hoo area?

[MartinR]

Time for a hint: from this location you can see another county and a river.

[MartinR]

Well Stewie, you've got the flint blade (I think it's a scraper, but knife is close enough).  Oi, Johnfilmer: leave my wheels out of this!
