Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Well done Cat.  There is a brief description of it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frindsbury#The_manor_of_Frindsbury and the formal listing at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1204320  It was open for the National Heritage day in 2014 (as the more observant might guess) which was when I took the photos.  You don't realise how big it is until you stand inside; from the outside it looks quite low due to the stub walls and long sloping roof.

Is it Frindsbury Barn?

[jimawilliams]

If this is where I think it is, I must thank you MartinR for showing this as I have never seen inside before.  I would have walked past this literally hundreds of times as a child, on the weekends walking our dog.  I won't post my guess as I do not have any images to reply with.

[MartinR]

Another listed building, but what and where?

[jimawilliams]

Just to verify, MartinR has the correct answer and it is now his turn.
Thanks for your suggestion John Walker.

[jimawilliams]

I don't know, its like scratching a mosquito bite, you just have to and you did.  So its YOUR turn now.

[MartinR]

Why do I do it?  That's Upnor Castle.

[John Walker]

A lighthouse ?

[jimawilliams]

Thanks MartinR
I recall the inside being very open and light.
Like yourself I have limited difficult images to post.  So here is a quick one

[MartinR]

Yes Jim (Jima?) you're quite right.  I knew it would be found soon, but didn't have a better/harder one.

[jimawilliams]

This would be The Catholic Church of the English Martyrs located at the junction of Mill Road and the A228 (Frindsbury Hill).  I  attended family services there in the late 1970's.  Growing up in Wainscott, this image was immediately familiar to me.

Significantly older, I note that the number 5 was cast between 1360 and 1380, so about 650 years old!  There is an article about the bells here: http://kent.lovesguide.com/articles/westgate1976-07-30.pdf
Right, on to the next one.  I had two in mind, but the outdoor one was unphographable in the murk and autumnal darkness of today.  The other was indoors, but some bright spark has hung Christmas decorations in front of it.  It's not even Advent yet, bah humbug!
So lets see how quickly you can locate this grade II listed building then.

That must be St, Saviour, Westgate-on-Sea which obtained 5 bells from Holy Cross Canterbury (via Whitechapel) in 1975.

Not toes or fingers CAT 


Yes - 5 Bells.  That should narrow it down nicely.
