Bethersden Village.
Set in the Wall of the st Mary's Churchyard. It was restored in 2011 as it had deteriorated and received a  Grant from the War Memorials Trust to help pay for the work.

Thanks JohnFilmer.  Another one that got my brain working  :D .  From your comments, I'm guessing you were/are a heating installer?  I was a heater apprentice in the 60s.  Southern Heating Services based in Herne Bay.  It went bust in a rather big way.  We carried out a number of jobs on period properties and depending on which team was involved, either a great job or a disaster occurred.


Next one ...


Where is this memorial?

Give that man the star prize, Regency Cottage it is.


We did a lot of work there a few years ago when the new owner completely renovated it. The section at the rear is the oldest, the rear chimney served a bread oven. The front is later, giving the cottage it’s name from the period. The canopy along the front is original.


Typically our fitter carefully wrote “pipes” on the upstairs floor, with lines defining the runs. Along comes the builder with his nail gun, hit one pipe 5times in 3m section. System was full, hot and cold both mains, all live, caused a lovely mess. Electrician was about to have a panic attack when our guys rocked up.

Closer, but the village name, possibly referring to a clearing in the Weald, remains the smart clue.

Edge of one of those Wealden villages easily confused with another when their names are spoken.

Thanks JW, sorry for the delay I've been live streaming a funeral (that's surely an oxymoron) - such strange times we live in!
So this effort gets two pictures, the front and rear/side so no extra prizes for guessing that its on a junction.

GSV has it as Barham Mills Farm Airstrip. Southernden Road.


I lived about a mile and half cross country from there for over 30years  ::)


You've got it JohnFilmer.  I was expecting to need to add a few more clues as it's a bit out of the way.  I wondered if 'Trikeman' was on here under a different username but I couldn't find him.   I would have thought he would join this forum.


Over to you again  :D

Not Frinsted Pete.  Need to head south.

There are two strips here.  The other is in the field behind the camera view.  Operational since 2000.

A regular contributor on the old forum would possibly know this straight away.  I don't think he's joined this forum - at least not under his old forum name.

JohnFilmer I think it's full size.
Grandarog. Sort of on the right lines.
About 2.5 km from another fairly recent GTP.
