Go north from your original guess.

Struggling with this one.  How about north of the A2 between Rainham and Faversham?

I'm okay with martinR taking it as his answer was just ahead of mine by a few seconds.
CAT, I said Leeds because that's all you asked for, its obviously Leeds in Kent as we are the KHF after all!

MartinR - No clue where the new one is though.

I'm not sure where I saw this painting, but it is of a church in Kent.  Which one?

It is indeed the Kentish metropolis of Leeds, but this now creates a potential problem as MartinR inferred both Leeds (up that there north), but the Kent Leeds in his map referencing. This should lead to MartinR taking the next GTP, though Lutonman clearly mentioned 'Leeds', but which one was he referring to? I'm all confused now! :D.

I think MartinR should take the offering, unless he hasn't another pic ready then its over to Lutonman?

Don't worry MartinR - northerners sometimes refer to Canterbury City as a small town in Kent.   :D

First a catch-up.

The Brickhouse Farmhouse is  listed grade II https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1204311?section=official-list-entry.
  • Nat Grid:                   TQ 73287 71062
  • Nearest Post Code:   ME3 8DA
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°24'43"N,000°29'25"E or 51.41208,0.49039

I must confess I'd never heard of Stalisfield Green, nor did I realise ME spread so far east.  Anyhow, here are the location detail:
  • Nat Grid:                    TQ 95435 52941
  • Nearest Post Code:   ME13 0HY
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°14'32"N,000°47'55"E or 51.24216,0.79855

As regards the latest - I think the residents of Leeds, Yorkshire might be a bit miffed as having their fair city dismissed as a mere "large town".   If you put your camera at:
  • Nat Grid:                   TQ8239253210
  • Nearest Post Code:   ME17 1RN
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°14'56"N,000°36'43"E or 51.24889,0.61204
you'll see basically the same view.

Town indeed; walks off muttering in disgust at the ignorance of southerners ...

Many thanks grandarog. A pub I'd been to a few time in the past and well worth a visit. The food was outstanding then and looks as though its the same now.

Here is my next, Kent village famous for its name being shared with a large town up north. Sadly, as with many villages in the county, this one is blighted with traffic problems.

Might not take long this one as its a well travelled route through it.

Take a heading of roughly 105 to 110 degrees from Aylesford and keep looking.
