Would that be the H. Petrie drawing of St Michael's Church, East Wickham c.1807?

This is in the historic county of Kent.  It was drawn c. 1802.

Here is the irony. In essence it does look like a bit 'Tudor' chimney stack, which is located against the north end of the west side wall to the main range. However, examination of this range from a photograph dated 1932 clearly shows no chimney stack, but a door to a stable. I assume this chimney stack was an addition when the stable was converted into domestic use.

That.s one of the big Tudor Chimney breasts on Sissinghurst Castle. I think its at the back if I remember right.
There's a similar one on a cottage in the Village.

Not Eastgate House castle261, but the use of triangulation has the location correct. It is indeed Sissinghurst.

Over to you MartinR

The rear of Eastgate House, now the Charles Dickens Museum, in Rochester.


Charles Dickens walked the street`s in the City
He plied his trade with pen, his humour & witty
A plot here & a plot there, with quill pen & paper
His marvelous stories, with a tragedy or a caper.

Well by triangulation it ought to be Sissinghurst.
