Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Part of a museum?   Gunpowder perhaps?

[Stewie]

Good spot Martin R and I was going to offer this as a clue later. The mechanism inside the room is a (large) grinding wheel.

[MartinR]

I'm trying to make out the object inside the building.  It could be an early turbine - is it some sort of preserved town or estate electricity plant?  The only other thing it looks like is a flint mill, but we don't have any 19thC potteries in Kent (or do we?).

[Stewie]

Thanks Beachbum


We visited Chidderstone Castle in 2019 and even photographed the orangery but could not remember it! My next one was taken a few years ago but I would guess the view is still the same so where was I when I took this picture?

Spot on Stewie, it is the Orangery at Chidingstone Castle.


Over to you....

[Stewie]

Presumably the colour is orange from the term orangery? So a quick search of orangeries in Kent gives  an image of one at Chiddingstone Castle.

[Beachbum]

Another clue....

Ditto ,Lovely Place to visit.   Hold off for a while.

[John Walker]

I like your clue Beachbum  .  I know this one, so it wouldn't be a guess.


I'll hold back.

[Beachbum]

Thanks CAT.      I must check out the Beach at Cranbrook 


Next one: "Think of a Colour"

PS - I loved accidental village name "Cranbrook Beachbum"; it ought to rank along with "North Piddle", "Wyre Piddle", "Scratchy Bottom" and of course "Shitterton"

It is indeed St Dunstan's Church, Cranbrook Beachbum. Over to you and again apologies for the delay.

[Beachbum]

St. Dunstan's Church, Cranbrook?

[CAT]

Good evening to you all and apologies for the delay caused by work.


Many thanks John Walker, this is one of those churches i have worked at a couple of time over the last few years and remember it well.


My next is another church, but more towards the western part of the county than Nonnington.
