It is an unusual photo of the side & back of the St Bart`s Chapel, taken in Gundulf Road, Chatham /      Rochester. Now used by a Martial Art`s group

Afraid its not Bekenham castle261.

You need to be going southeast. This village had a very important scientist as a former resident.

This church was formerly in the historic county boundary of Kent, but is now regarded as being in Greater London.

Many thanks, and you are absolutely correct John Walker.

The site of St Sepulchre's Nunnery is noted as occupying the corner plot formed by Old Dover Road and Oaten Hill with the line of Cossington Road extending up through the middle. Whilst fragments of the former nunnery boundary wall, which enclosed the property, have been traced beneath the present street lines along Old Dover Road and Oaten Hill, numerous burials have been discovered along Old Dover Road, as well as Cossington Road showing there was an extensive cemetery for both the resident nuns and the general population. Unfortunately, the actual site of the nunnery church has eluded discovery so far, but is assumed to lie beneath the gardens between Old Dover road and Cossington Road. Despite this, portions of the domestic ranges survived into the early nineteenth-century and formed the earlier Oaten Hill frontage. This frontage possessed an arched opening (gateway?) through its centre, the line of which formed the precursor to the Cossington Road junction with Oaten Hill.
