You are 50% there John Walker, but my initial GTP possessed a second question with the literary connection also?

Not Bifrons John Walker, but you are heading the right direction away from Canterbury

Wild flowers seem to be abundant this year CAT. Shame we can't say the same for butterflies and bees
Quick guess - Bifrons ?

Many thanks John Walker, its a church I know well especially during the late spring as the churchyard is left un-mowed and the wild flowers are fantastic to see.
My next has a literary connection, but where and to whom?

I do think this might be SS Mary and Radegund's Church, Postling?
That's it CAT - nice and quick

Right! I've found the location, so here it is. Another church - might not take long.

Strictly speaking it's
Leigh Academy Rainham
, there are a few other Leigh Academies. They are part of the Leigh Academies Trust which has 31 schools in total, including the former Williamson Trust schools such as Rochester Maths School. Any how, the roundabout is at:
Nat'l grid: TQ 82625 65821
Post code: ME8 8LU
WGS84: 51°21'44"N, 000°37'19"E or 51.362095,0.621826

Thanks, Grandarog. I was searching a bit too far North.
I have a photo ready but I can't remember where the location is. I'm having to do my own GTP search
. As soon as I work out where the location is, I'll put the image up.

Well done John Walker didn't expect it to last long. Took you a bit longer than usual.The road system change and new roundabout were incorporated to serve the new school that was built. "Leigh Academy"
Your turn.

At last!
Otterham Quay Lane ?
Our family home for the last 40 years has been in Otterham Quay Lane, and Iv'e had to listen to my sister complaining about a little built of building work on the opposite side of the road for the last couple of years. Didn't realise it was this extensive. A quiet country road the last time I drove down that way just a few years ago.
Interesting that if you click the north arrow on this GSV, and then turn round to face south, you see the road as it was.

John Walker if you are the Sittingbourne side of the Medway Towns you are in the right area. All the clues are on the post to help you find
the location.
