I think that takes us into the Swale area?

Not Dering windows, so not Pluckley.


Go north, not that far south of M2.

It looks like "CRAMPTON HALL" is written above the main door. Is that of any help?  I must say that this time it does shout Methodist (or at least Free Church).

It was interesting finding it JW. To all those who think that we frequent players know where these places are, it could not be further from the truth. It is the solving of clues and attention to detail, as well as large portions of luck, that lead us to them.
So, in that vein, here is another place of worship. South of M2, but where?

You have it JohnFilmer.  Tucked away a bit in Monster.  I lived a couple of doors away in the 90s.


I believe it was connected with the abbey.



Over to you.

Temple Ewell?


Not there Pete.  Correct end of Kent though.
The road has the name of this church.

East Kent


Railway station about 500 mtrs away.  An inn is at the rear and slightly to the right of this chapel.



MartinR.  I think you are on the right track.

Two possibilities:
(1) A lot of 19C churches and chapels looked similar, I can't see anything that shouts "Methodist", it could just as well be RC, Baptist or Congregational (now URC).
(2) Following the schism of 1820 it was quite common to see a Primitive Methodist chapel in the immediate vicinity of a Wesleyan Methodist chapel.  After Methodist union in 1932 that meant that many towns and even villages had two chapels.  With falling congregations many Primitive chapels (which were usually the smaller ones) were sold off during the 1950s to 1970s.
Anyhow, this is speculation since I haven't located it yet!

I can't find any in depth history so far.   It's no longer in use but was named as a church rather than a chapel.  Located in a village.
A larger church and a Methodist Chapel (now residential/commercial)  are close by.
