I will reserve my answer, but they may begin with an `- ` !


The first time photo`s have appeared on my screen, Stuart must have twisted a few knobs !

Your spot on John Walker. This is indeed the effigy of Alexander Culpepper and his wife dated 1537 and positioned in a bay window along the south aisle. The unusual feature to this monument is that it is carved wood and covered in painted gesso. As the faces are individual to other comparative monuments there is the certainty these were carved during there lives providing an actual portrait of the people in question.

Over to you

Quick stab in the dark.  Chilham Church?

Many thanks Local Hiker.

This is a place I have visited numerous times and often wondered about the circular building, though the lighthouses of Dungeness are a series of 'low-lights' and high-lights ranging from at least the early 1600's. From what I have gathered, it is the present lighthouse that dates from 1904 with the circular building adjacent being created in the 1860's from the two lower storeys of buildings that originally encircled the earlier 1792 lighthouse. Following the removal of the earlier lighthouse an open circular courtyard was formed in the buildings centre, which was subsequently capped by a glazed roof.

Here is my next offering, but who and where are this illustrious couple buried?

Thank you CAT, and thank you John Walker for the clue.
That required some detective work to resolve.


I am running out of GTP photos. I need to get out with the camera more.
I took this in the summer of 2017.

Bifrons House.
Bifrons, or Janus Bifrons, the two-faced god of the Romans, one of the earliest gods of the Roman pantheon. He was the gatekeeper who looked both ways and was the god of beginnings and endings, and of special significance to soldiers.

I drove past this location recently but I'll hold fire to give other members a chance to join in.

Many thanks John Walker

Apologies for the delay, but work really gets in the way of pleasure sometimes.


As with us all, you can't get enough of a good thing so a quick transfer from the old KHF to here was a must.


My offering is obviously a large country house, sadly no longer standing, but where was it, what's its name and how did it get its name?
