I didn't think Kemsley had a church, I can't find one on GSV.  Are you thinking of Milton Regis?

Well it's not St Thomas the Apostle, Harty, so would I be right in invoking the "-ish"  and assuming the north Kent coast from, say, Reculver to Thanet?

Spot On Grandarog, This was a clue in a Canterbury Treasure trail I did this year. It followed my adventure around Maidstone. Not been to Canterbury for a number of years and its changed a lot.


You can see it here

Is that a photo of part of the base of Sam Holland's Statue of Chaucer at Canterbury?

Thank you Martin R


Away from buildings this time then, where do you find this part of a statue? Easily viewable on a street corner.

Sadly, Lutonman it was not St Pancras Church, Shepherdswell, which is actually dedicated to St Andrew, but you were one village out  :) . Maybe a confusion as to the location of the church in relation to the village?



I actually took the name from the title of a photo from the web but shortened it to make it simple

Guildford colliery.  Thanks for the photo, I'd been trying to work out what the crescent shaped structure was, particularly since it is quite an embankment where is crosses Little Haynes (thanks GSV).  I'd even wondered if it was associated with the earthworks around the church, but clearly is the remains of the spur from Eynesthorpe to the colliery.
