Hope you are right John Walker .
I had considered Kingsdown but there doesn't appear to be any photos of it', Organ.
There isn't any mention of an Organ in any of the historical articles I have found, so I discounted the Church.

I stuck "ME9" into Google Maps just to see if it would highlight the correct area, and it does!  What amused me though was that it solemnly draws the boundary up one side of Conyer Creek and down the other, then goes mad out around Stangate and Halstow Creeks.  It excludes Deadmen's Island, but then I suppose not many letters are delivered there!

Not Oare, John.


I`ve made another error   - I didn`t check the post code ME9 NOT ME10.


Definitely not Faversham but only a few miles away. The name of this church is often mis-spelt.

Many of the churches I've searched don't seem to have photos of the organ.  Plenty of naves, altars, and fonts though.  ;D   St Peter's Church, Oare ?

John Walker  -  It`s very rare to find two identical pipe organs.


Here's the Appledore church organ - very similar at a quick glance and then I saw the obvious differences  :D .

Not St. Bartholomew, Bobbing, which is my avatar, granderog. Wrong end of Sittingbourne.

The nearest I can find is Bobbing, which is similar, but does not Match Diapasons Pic.☺

Not found it yet. The organ in St Peter and St Paul. Appledore looks of similar design but I can't find a connection.

It does "turn" when you click on it to enlarge it.  The reason is that you have used a display package to rotate it 270° clockwise.  Such packages, unlike true photo editors, do not actually rotate the image, they just set the value in the "EXIF" data.  Subsequent display software should take note of this, but thumbnails usually don't.  In your case I can see (in amongst 103 lines of data):

Orientation                     : Rotate 270 CW
Nice camera by the way.

Apologies for the repetition. I think age is creeping up on me.


How about this one? Where will you find this organ?


For some reason it will not `turn`.
