Well - I've headed NW from Capel and not found it yet.  An outstanding tower.  Dover area?

Sorry about that John Walker, though I did have to scratch the old familiar head with this one. I now I'd been there in the past, but couldn't remember where it was. It was the arches along the right hand side, which are part of the original medieval Maison Dieu arcade that gave it away, the picture being taken in the later hall designed by the famous gothic revivalist architect, William Burges.

Here is my next, but where would you find this fantastic early Norman tower?

You beat me to it CAT  :D


Salomoms is a place on my list to visit sometime.  I understand there is a very interesting museum there.

Well done, CAT! Not an easy one, over to you.



The magnificent organ has been neglected and is now unplayable and will cost a small fortune to renovate.
 

John Walker  -  I had no knowledge of  Salomons until today but can now understand your guess.

Quick guess - Salomons near Tunbridge Wells.  That's where I thought your last one was.

St Margarets, Hucking immediately came to mind, but the surroundings don`t seem to be quite right nor the projection on the right hand side.


Go West young man  :)
