That’s it JW. Photo taken through a gateway off the Faversham Road, just up from Wichling church. The Old Lenham Road runs down on the right, cutting the corner off the Faversham Road, rejoining it in The Street at Doddington.


I’m writing this just out of shot on the right, about a third of the distance to Doddington Place.


North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


You’re “It” again!

The other place I can think of that looks like the one in your photo is Doddington Place ?

Not Tory Hill JW.

A bit different from the cleaning vessel - from my 1935 schooldays - Stuart - A man with a horse/cart
came up the hill - with his half tank - pulled by one horse - he got out the long scoops - to scoop out
the drain of muck - then he put pink powder down - over the drain - put scoops back on cart & away.

I'm thinking of Torry Hill.  Owned by the previous Governor of the Bank of England. The Leigh-Pemberton family?


Just one thing puts a doubt in my mind.  I don't think there are pylons that close to the house but the telephoto might be deceiving.

I remember using that lane to turn round to go back to Sutton Valence - looking for a housename, usually took more than one pass - and I initially thought that I had gone around a big circle and was looking at the back of Sutton Valence church. Found a map and realised that there were two very close together. Very strange.
Next one - what is the grand(ish) building roughly in the centre of this vista.

That's the place JohnFilmer.  Seems strange to name it after Chart Sutton when as you say it's nearer to Sutton Valence.


Over to you ...

Chart Sutton church, which is probably less than half a mile from Sutton Valence church at the top of the hill by the main road.

Perfect trajectory Shoot999 but too far.  Try again but only around 12km.
