Is it a tower at the rear of Cooling Castle?  Built by or for the Cobhams.   I think masonry fell from one of the front towers a year or so ago?

Many thanks Diapason. I knew I'd seen the building somewhere on my work travels, which was about 2 years ago.


My next is my current work travels, but where and who was it built for?

Well guessed CAT.


Picture taken last year on my first visit to Minster, my father`s birthplace and where my grandfather was engineer at the Minster Laundry.


The old Laundry.

Sorry, should have said the former 'The White Horse', as I think it's now closed?

Sorry John Walker, I think I'm going to snatch it from you?

The White Horse, Church Street, Minster (Thanet). If correct, its a bit crafty as its been blanked out on Google Streetview.

If there haven't been any further guesses by this evening, I'll put my guess in to keep things moving.

Abbey makes me think of Minster-in-Sheppey, but that's only a guess.

I should have got this one straight away - I lived 3 minutes walk from it a few year ago!!!
I won't put a 'guess' forward as it wouldn't be a Guess :)

Yes, I agree! But unfortunately it isn`t Sandwich.

Close to a large church and an abbey. (That should give it away).

Next offering, with a very tenuous connection with the previous GTP photo.

There's more about the bells here: http://kent.lovesguide.com/tower.php?id=135  Number 3, 5 and 6 (tenor) are the original 1663 bells, so (discounting a bit of retuning to 5 and 6) you are hearing the same sound as rang out 350 years ago.

Diapason, you have guessed the place correctly. The Abbey Church of St Mary and St Sexburga in Minster on Sea, (not Minster Ramsgate).
The old meets the new with the modern rectory and function room in the car park on the left.
This site says more than I can. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1273489
I can hear the bells from my garden.


Over to you.
