I am amazed at the name of villages - that appear from time to time - latest - Paddlesworth. ?
I must get out more - after ? - But did you know there was another Paddlesworth in Kent.
Situated near Snodland - 6+ miles from Rochester ?

Biggin Hill - "The Old Jail" or "The Aperfield Inn" seem to fit the clues.

Hi DTT - Yes it's a subtle clue but not fox hunting use of the phrase. This pub does have a rather unusual name and of course the WW2 connection is important.
Chocks away!

Is that a clue, JW? If so is it something like the hare and hounds, or Huntsman? No idea of location, however.

Sorry about that John Walker, i guess you fell into the 'old ruined churches and chapels of Kent and double named villages' trap that we all do at some time.
Seems your next one follows a similar tradition of the double named villages?

Thanks CAT - a very interesting one and not easy to find. The church at Paddlesworth fitted your clues quite well with the exception of being near water. Had connections with Dode and there's a Paddlesworth both ends of the county and the church is similar. I thought I'd cracked it with that one
Next one ..

Thanks Cat, I thought that that would be the one. Goodness only knows why Google Maps thinks it's Pentecostal though. The other New Covenant Church is a total red herring, it seems to have grown out of Nigeria and then moved to the UK. The enclosed link may be of interest, in the gallery it includes pictures of the chancel arch.
