You have it Grandarog - I was running out of clues.   :)


It is indeed the war memorial in a triangle of grass in Stansted.  There is an enormous barn close by used for wedding receptions.


Over to you ...

So, very nearly there Lutonman, but John Walker got the exact building.


That's Ok, I try to join in when I can but many defeat me as I am not an East Kent man and don't have a lot of time to search.

D'oh!  I couldn't find a Kentish Heathrow or Gatwick.  I'd forgotten about that other one!

Some people could end up here by mistake instead of heading off on their holiday.

Two other places with a similar name are in an adjoining county which is separated by a river.

Clues: Surrounded by roads.  Very close to a wedding venue and a Norman church.  NW Kent

Thank you JohnFilmer.  As you mentioned, it's not very visible from the current Street View but I was able to identify it from the arial view.
