Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

Wild guess, Tunbridge Wells?

[John Walker]

500 mtrs to the right you will find water.

Clock tower nearby.

We've had GTPs in this area before.

The image is from GSV - the wide angle lens has made some of the columns look a different size.  I am fairly certain they are all the same size.


There's another set opposite these.

[John Walker]

Thanks CAT,  I've visited Goodenstone House a few times and never knew the Jane Austin connection.  Always something new to learn on GTP.


Next one.


Where is this row of columns?

[CAT]

Just as I expected John Walker, a concise and thorough answer covering my requested 100% answer.


Over to you

[John Walker]

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

Found it 

From Wiki ...

Not long after the house was built, extensive formal gardens developed around the house, the brainchild of William Harris. However, Sir Brook Bridges, 3rd Baronet (the grandson of Brook Bridges, 1st Baronet) replaced the gardens at the end of the 18th century with a landscape park and made several alterations to the house. He married Fanny Fowler and had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Edward Austen, brother of the famous author Jane Austen. The young couple stayed at Rowling house on the estate for several years before moving to nearby Godmersham and Jane was a regular guest at Goodnestone. It was after staying at Rowling House in 1796 that she began writing her novel Pride and Prejudice originally named First Impressions.

Goodnestone looks like a good match ?

[CAT]

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

[John Walker]

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


Quick guess - Bifrons ?

[CAT]

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?

[John Walker]

I do think this might be SS Mary and Radegund's Church, Postling?

That's it CAT - nice and quick  .   Over to you.
