Thanks Local Hiker, it's always a nice day out there.
Next one...

DaveTheTrain, it is at Chartwell, one of Churchill's favourite spots to sit and chill apparently. Over to you...

This website elaborates appropriately http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2009/11/12/chartwell-the-water-garden/

Is it Chartwell? Just a guess really.

Just remembered where I'd seen it. As always, I'll hold back as it's not a guess.

Interesting one LocalHiker.  I feel I should know it, but it's not ringing any bells so far.  The search begins ...

The church started as an infant school in 1861, hence the unusual "north" façade.  the church is aligned NW-SE rather than W-E.  A new school was built behind it (now called the Old School House) after which the original buildings were extended with an apsoidal East End and a bell cote.  In 1872 it was consecrated as a Chapel of Ease to SS Peter and Paul, Charing.  In 1874 the parish of Charing Heath was created and the chapel became the church.

There is a single bell in the bell cote of about 1¼ cwt.

The church is grade II listed.

(@John: aren't "other measures" only available in less fortunate lands to the south?)

Thanks johnfilmer. I am not familiar with that particular church. Google maps and lady luck provided on this occasion.

This next GTP is very famous; you either know it or you don't. If you don't, you will probably realise that you did once it is guessed.

My photo from last year, and my father in the same place 25 years ago.

Well done, Local Hiker, that’s the place.

I was checking out some other potential GTP on Google when I noticed Church Hill, so went looking for a church. It is well hidden, even on street view. So I have no idea of the history of it, but it looks interesting.

My brother in law’s current long term project is completely renovating his late in laws bungalow about a mile from there, so I might combine visiting both one day.

Over to you Local Hiker

A bit too random grandarog, needs to be north of M20.

Go ESE (ish) a few miles-other measures of distance are available.

Random Guess to start the ball rolling . East Sutton??

Mid Kent

Where is this church hiding in the bushes?

North of the M20

The old village hall is now a house.
