Is it St Peter’s, Bredhurst?

Though this church stands fairly isolated away from its 'modern' village, there is strong evidence it was once the centre of its lost village, whilst the parish name would suggest it was in the Weald.

Not Romney Marsh Pete. Opposite (up) end of the county. Not to far from a major Kent road (but then what isn't?).

Most definitely johnfilmer, and when I was last there (only a couple of years ago) it was still a functioning church.

Many thanks Diapason
Double ones are indeed a rarity, and not just Kent, but nationwide. I was also holding back, but eventually pounced.
Here is my next, which is again an antiquarian church view of the late 1780s, but where would this be?

I guessed you were `holding back` on this one, John as I know you are very familiar with the Doddington area and the double squint appears to be a rarity in Kent churches.

As I can see Doddington church from my back garden, I thought it best to keep quiet on this one once I realised the answer just after my post about Wychling, which is probably closer.

Ah, so not Eastchurch then.
It would have helped if I'd read the description of the right Doddington. The one in Cambridgeshire has no squints mentioned! The Historic England listing is at
https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1087004
and the location is at TQ 94002 57582

Could it be the unenviable titled church of The Beheading of John the Baptist at Doddington?

Would you need to cross water to get there from Bapchild?
Only if the M2 is flooded!
