Guess the Place

[John Walker]

A quick guess, Faversham?

That was quick JohnFilmer.  Yes, it's TID 164 which was moored at Faversham Creek at that time.  Its currently moored alongside Chatham Historic Dockyard near the Ropery.  The tug has had quite a chequered career.

Thank you, Stewie (and MartinR for the co-ordinates.)

Next one.  Taken during a day out with my late Dad.  We went to Leeds Castle, The Pentagon Centre, The Riverfront near the dockyard, and then headed home down the A2 calling in places on the way.

Well done johnwalker it is indeed St Mary's church in Teynham. We were doing a circular walk from Teynham railway station to Conyer Creek last March and passed the church on the way. Unfortunately it was closed on the day of our visit but we liked an interesting sign in the Lychgate which read:
"Please could you fill my
bowls with food + water
Many thanks
The church cat
XXX"

see attached picture, we duly filled the bowls and moved on!

Over to you Johnwalker

As I said I had a strong connection with St Marys Church Teynham .
Tina and Me were married there 60 years ago on 29th Sept 1962. Had our Diamond Wedding card from King Charles III and Camilla last year.

Congratulations on your Diamond Wedding Grandarog and Tina.  No mean feat in this day and age.

St Mary's Church in Teynham ?

[Stewie]

We have two 'guessers' waiting in the wings so to help this along: During the course of our walk we found ourselves up a creek and without a paddle!

[Stewie]

I haven't found it yet but I have to say - What a cracking photo Stewie. 

Thank you for the compliment Johnwalker, the photo was taken in early spring  and the lambs had just been put out with their mothers, when it is guessed I have an additional picture associated with the church to share! The Church is indeed north of the A2, our walk was a circular one out and back from a railway station.

[John Walker]

North of the A2 ?

[johnfilmer]

Too close to home, no guessing required, so pass on this.

(This in itself may be a clue to some of our regulars)

[grandarog]

I have to strong a connection to this Church so it wouldn't be fair to take it.Keep guessing folks ,Good Luck

It does  look that way Stuartwaters but those are not Romney lambs, far from it.
