Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

I kept going back to the same area, with the Bourne Park Railway Tunnel, Nail Bourne River and St. Marys Church.

A day later, I finally found the House...............

[John Walker]

To sum up so far:

• Closer to Fordwich than Tyler Hill, so within 5 miles of Fordwich.
• The end of an escape tunnel is reputed to be at this house, anyone any ideas?
• A famous writer of old lived nearby, who?
• Royalty, Pop stars, and orphans would have passed this house, probably true of any house on a main road.
• Close to a disused railway line, can't find a trace on GSV satellite, anyone go any ideas?
• Close to a small river, can't find any rivers other than the Stour within the area.

HELP!

Time for more clues.
The place that Royalty, Pop stars, and Orphans were going to is only about 300 mtrs away.
A lot of the track bed of the railway still exists
Some related buildings to the railway still exist.
A railway tunnel is not far away. 
The river mentioned flows intermittently and is within a stone's throw of the house in the photo.  It joins the Stour some miles further on.
The building is grade 2 listed and was built around 1680.

In which case is the river the Stour?  and are we near Fordwich?

 A tributary of the Stour.  Getting closer with Fordwich but not there.


A famous writer of old lived nearby.

[John Walker]

Not Tyler Hill or Sarre.  Tyler Hill is nearest though.


Another clue.  The end of an escape tunnel is reputed to be at this house.

[Beachbum]

Tyler Hill?

[MartinR]

Poor John, no-one's talking to him!
Pure guess, are we anywhere near Sarre?

[John Walker]

Royalty, Pop stars, and orphans would have passed this house.

Close to a disused railway line

[John Walker]

Close to a small river.

Is Wye too Far East?

Need to go further northeast quite a way.  This house is a bit remote but there's a large house fairly close and a few other houses in the vicinity.  A village with a pub, a village hall, and a church within walking distance.

Pluckley area?

It has the look of Pluckley but further east. Not on a main road but easy to see on GSV
