JW, you forgot that it is between M2 and M20, the house at Chilston is just south of M20.

More than a "few" miles inland JW.
MartinR - On the death of its last owner the estate(s) are now owned by a charitable trust that he had set up, but the house is still a private residence - but I've yet to find out for whom.

Is the "rather grand house" still used as a private house?

Some of the other names on the memorial are also ones that pop up during my ancestry searches so local(ish) and found it second memorial - there's lucky. Not found my ancestral link to royalty - yet!
This GTP you get two photos, one of each end of a gated, private road. It leads towards a rather grand house, but both ends are onto public roads, well lanes really.

Central, twixt M2 & M20.

Centre column, third up from the bottom.
I assume that it is in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul's Church?  If so the location is ME13 8XS, TR 00024 60317 or 51°18'25" N 000°52'06"E.
