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!

The light switches tell me that it’s not Wychling.

Any clues like area etc please?


There`s a notice explaining this feature close to it. In the past I`ve refrained from using this photo as I thought it difficult,except for yourself and John Filmer.
