Georgian, Grade 2 listed, and the road (lane really) that it stands on is named for the building.

OK here is an imposing building, standing with a serious view, possibly more trees now...

There was a hint of 1960s Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, back in the day.

The Quarries was a nightmare before satnav. Narrow, winding, house names in the bushes, and heaven help you if you met the dustmen! Did many jobs along there, as well as on the delightfully named Bottlescrew Hill.

Back later when at laptop.

Well done JohnFilmer - Over to you again  :)

Thanks for the info MartinR.   the building looks quite out of place now.  I'm guessing it was isolated when it was built.

The ragstone quarry was just north of the village and looks quite extensive in this 1960 view.  All flattened and part built on now.

Without wanting to steal John F's thunder, that certainly looks like the place.  I do like your "Ragstone quarry means Boughton Monchelsea to me", local knowledge is vital!

As John F said, grade II listed:

House. Early C17 or earlier. Timber framed, weatherboarded, with plain tile roof. 2 storeys. Gable end jetty to left underbuilt in buff brick. Steeply- pitched hipped roof with gablets. Slender projecting buff brick stack towards front of left gable end. Brick ridge stack to left of centre. Irregular fenestration of three 3-light casements. Boarded door with flat bracketed hood under stack. Rear lean-to.

There was a ragstone quarry on the edge of this village until late 50s.

Modification is not confined to historic interpretations. The 1921 Census transcriptions on Find My Past have been riddled with errors in the case of my family research. Completely misunderstanding the hamlet of Lidsing, and labelling it within Gillingham, my great grandfather kept the Harrow pub, and his age is changed from 74 to 94.

I posted four corrections in one evening.

So yes, I agree Martin, easily changed.
