Local knowledge, John!
I was in the vicinity this afternoon.  As you say, there`s very little about Wrinsted Court on the internet except one photo but I can remember seeing "Wrinsted Court" on a signpost when I was about 10 years old, and that was long time ago.

Well I am surprised at Diapasons quick, and very correct, answer.


There is so little detail on the internet.


I found it as an ancestor lived at Flint Barm Farm, a bit south from it.


Over to you Diapason.

Sorry for delay, been playing with my new toy, a battery powered (but powerful) chainsaw. Logs cut and stacked, not bad for a couple of OAPs.
Meanwhile... how about this house. Demolished in the 1970s I think, and very little information readily available.
Was part of a larger, and still extant, estate with a railway connection. Mid kent, site is between M2 and M20.

Spurred on by Grandarogs piece, I think it could be at Worth. War memorial opposite church, in front of pond.

A war memorial or a memorial to a particular event?

Very quiet on this one.  Can I suggest it might be worth members asking more questions to narrow it down?  If no guesses by Monday evening, then I'll go for it :)

I'll still hold off for a while - it's not that difficult to find.
