Well done grandarog, it is Henry Streatfeild's vault from 1736. A large family Tomb that has an airflow system.

Chiddingstone is described as being the most perfect surviving example of a Tudor village in the country. Much of the village is owned by The National Trust.

So 'yes' is the answer to John Walker

Thank You Johnfilmer, Luckily it was the first road I tried in Sutton Valence

Now this one is further west on another Treasure trail trip of mine.

Where is this please, you'll need to look up a bit.

The Greensand Ridge (eg Liverton Hill) is between Lenham and the Weald, so not Lenham.

The parish church is close to an important and historic route.
