Guess the Place

Church of St Pancras Shepherdswell ?

The structure at the end is called a bell cote or bellcot, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell-cot  Double bellcots are fairly rare, usually they are single or triple.

There appears to be two spaces, JW, but only one has a bell?

[John Walker]

Well, I've found churches with one external bell and churches with three but none with two so far.  (I expect there's a special name for external bells)

Again apologies, work always gets in the way of play.


Many thanks John Walker. Interestingly enough, I drove past that very shop about two days prior to you posting the image.


Here is my next, which is another church with a very intriguing history, not only the church itself, but the surrounding immediate landscape.

Apologies for the delay, I shall remedy ASAP

Could it be 'The Old Post Office' in Sissinghurst, now an antique/curios shop?

Spot on CAT.    Over to you 🙀

A shot in the dark


The Fig Tree, Lenham?

Current view, or historic?

Photo is as per the 2021 GSV but in B+W.  Shop is no longer in use as it was in the past.  Nameplate over the door has been blanked as it made it rather obvious.


Mid Kent.


Further clues will follow if not guessed.

thanks Local Hiker.  I've just had a look on Google.  The Old Wine Vault looks worth a visit next time I visit Faversham.


Next one ...


Village location.

[Local Hiker]

You are correct John Walker.
The alley is "Cross Street", running west from Preston Street, Faversham.
The ground floor is currently "The Spice Lounge" Indian Restaurant.
The mayor who lived there was Edward Jacob.
The pub to the left that you mention is "The Old Wine Vault".

[John Walker]

It looks like an alley that leads to a car park in Faversham.  If I'm correct the building on the left is a pub.
