It is, JW, and a specific type of one. No longer marked as such on current maps, but consistently on older ones.
Now, where is it? The road name may be your best clue. Mid Kent, (and to recap, North of M20) between two railway lines of very different eras.

Not a Workhouse, Pete. That was a mile or so away on the main road, not tucked away up a narrow lane.

Not quite JW.


The road name should lead you to where it is.

Not a school.


Allegedly built about 1900, but already on maps of 1895.


The road (lane actually) is named for the buildings general function.

My head for heights is limited to about two rungs up a ladder, and then it's hang on with both hands.
What was this building originally, it was being refurbished at the time of street view's visit. I will get out more in future...

Yes, I know this church quite well. The day I climbed the tower was when I realised I`d `lost my head for heights`.
Over to you!
