Either whoever fitted the seat by the road had lost the bubble out of his spirit level, or this is on a hill!

Thanks Diapason.   That was a struggle as it didn't come up on my Google maps for some reason.  Once you'd said Throwley was close it helped a lot.  Still,  I had a nice virtual trip around Swale.




Next one - same one as last time that I'm fairly sure hasn't been correctly guessed yet.

Well done John!


I posted it on the old forum when the solitary bell was stolen.


I believe a replacement was found locally.

This church should ring a bell in your memory.


Getting warmer with Throwley.


Were you thinking of Oare (not south of the M2) or Eastling? Both somewhat similar.

Struggling a bit now.  St Bartholomews Church, Goodnestone looked to be the place but I see now that it's almost a mirror image with the entrance on the opposite side.

I seem to recall a church just south of the M2 which was at the end of a track but I can't find it now.   


Throwley area ?

Good try, John, a very similar building but the wrong side of the M2.

Welcome back John. Like you I was shut out; but luckily I'm on a few of the  FB Medway history sites along with Stuart and a few KHF members. One of the members kindly brought me up to date with the situation before Stuart confirmed the site was available once again.  :)

Welcome back John Walker. I know the feeling when you have no contact with anyone to find out whar is happening . I would advise you and everybody toPut Stuarts E-mail in your address book in case of further problems. Then you will not feel totally lost. Leave the church for others as i know it well.
