Guess the Place

South of Maidstone?

East a fair step, south of M20. Village setting, but as MartinR thought, a smaller hamlet of a larger village.

MartinR, built as a Baptist Chapel in about 1750. Rebuilt after a fire in 1824 and continued up to the 1970s. Now still used for worship since reopening in 1975.

Interesting.  Looking at the building I thought "Methodist" (or other Free Church), but the gravestones and road name make me think it is a chapel of ease.  So, are we looking for a small hamlet about 5 miles from its parent village or toen?

I've been a bit slow on the response, but try this rural chapel, still in use, not converted to a house.
Road is... Chapel Lane

It’s the corner of Station Road and St Faiths Street.


I have been in the flat above next door, and they are as “interesting “ inside as out. A real challenge to find somewhere to put a boiler.
