The reason I held back on this one is that my Great Grandfather passed away in there at the young age of 37.  His name is George Impett, born in Ickham Village 1870.  He was the head gardener at Roydon Hall.  Despite much searching, I have been unable to locate his grave.

I'll stand back on this one Pete.  I have the same photo in my family tree but I'm not giving any clues away :)  .

I am amazed at the name of villages - that appear from time to time - latest - Paddlesworth. ?
I must get out more - after ? - But did you know there was another Paddlesworth in Kent.
Situated near Snodland - 6+ miles from Rochester ?

Biggin Hill  -  "The Old Jail" or "The Aperfield Inn" seem to fit the clues.

Hi DTT - Yes it's a subtle clue but not fox hunting use of the phrase.  This pub does have a rather unusual name and of course the WW2 connection is important.
Chocks away!

Is that a  clue, JW?  If so is it something like the hare and hounds, or Huntsman?  No idea of location, however.
