Yes!  Any chance of saying where in the Priory?

Time for another clue?  The site was originally used for its current purpose in 1242 but ceased to be in 1538.  It returned to its current use in the late 1950s.  The name of the nearby village shows that it was an ancient crossing place.

Time for the evening clue: the water John mentioned is the River Medway.  Come on, that should make it really easy.

Let's try one more cryptic one: "If I had a string of beads (or perhaps a necklace of beads) they might show the way to the stations".

Time for a cryptic clue I suspect: "You might say that this was a Stock photo".

I'm 99% sure I know this one but I'll hold fire for others to guess.  :)
