I think this is it.  It looks like it on the right of the church path?

St John the Baptist Church graveyard in Bredgar, Sittingbourne. It commemorates Private Ashley Goatham.

That's OK John, I lived in Milton for about 10 years and used to cycle up to Kemsley when taking a turn as guard on the SKLR.

I didn't think Kemsley had a church, I can't find one on GSV.  Are you thinking of Milton Regis?


Yes - misread the map :D

Well it's not St Thomas the Apostle, Harty, so would I be right in invoking the "-ish"  and assuming the north Kent coast from, say, Reculver to Thanet?
