Why do I do it?  That's Upnor Castle.

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

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

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  ;D


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

Are they three fingers and two toes of an archbishop?


Seriously, bells from Canterbury?

Isle of Thanet is correct  :)


The church contains five items from a Canterbury church.

About 5 minutes walk from the coast.

Is it right on the coast or slightly inland?

Not Sandwich, Deal or Dover.  More northerly than those towns.
