Sadly it's neither Rolvenden or Benenden, but it is one of the 'den' villages, so your getting close.

Many thanks MartinR. A very interesting article, which I had read many years ago and have now rediscovered.

Here is my next, but where.....?

OK, I was looking at the "dead tree" book where it appears along with a photo by J Edmunds of the restored church.

Afraid the 1929 Arch. Cant. (KAS) article wrongly accredits the date for the pic as 1802, but it was originally within one of Petrie's sketch books, with other churches from across the same area, dated 1807. This mis-crediting was rectified on the KAS website where it is correctly dated alongside another image of the church and one by William F. Saunders of 18th September 1856.

I agree it is a nice little church, and glad to see that after a period of redundancy it has found a new life of Christian worship.

No.  Wrong year. >:(   It's the Petrie drawing of c. 1802 (according to Archaeolgia Cantiana of 1929). ;D ;D ;D

Well done, I was a bit worried about the acceptability of the "historic" bit, but it's rather a nice looking little parish church so I went for it.  The building shown was a chapel of ease for Plumstead and underwent some 19thC rebuilding and subsequent restoration in 1926.  The church became a parish church in the 19thC but but the 1930s the expanding population needed a larger building.  The original building was sold to the Greek Orthodox Church to use for the Community of Christ the Saviour.  A new church was built in the grounds and consecrated on 18 February 1933.Links:https://www.stmichaelew.co.uk/parishhistory.htm

Would that be the H. Petrie drawing of St Michael's Church, East Wickham c.1807?
