Thanks Lutonman, we visited here earlier in the year and did some of the woodland walks so it looked familiar at first sight. Going through my pictures I found this front door, can you tell where it is? Clues, visible on GSV and is in Kent!

Sorry for not keeping up, had a water leak at home to deal with in our new kitchen!


Yes Stewie its Chartwell, had a great day out last Tuesday, been there a number of time but well worth a return visit.


Over to you Stewie.

Here is the next one, should be easy for some. Travel west of the County to this well known place.
Similar view on GSV is possible.

Aha! Found it south of the A2 in Callaways Lane.  The GSV "camera" location was at:

Lutonman has it, it is Newington Manor.


Lots of stories about tunnels to the church, but that’s a long way. More likely some priest holes or storage for contraband.


I remember doing a fete in the grounds with Graham and his steam railway, early 1960s, and a school friend lived almost opposite. As cubs and scouts we went past it on our way to Monkey Island, which is not an island, nor has any monkeys! Just woods, that had a trig point on top of a high point.


Over to you Lutonman.

Is this house a bit out of place in its location?

I've stolen a GSV image, that gives a glimpse of a Manor House - but where?
