Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

Thanks JW. That was one of those that I knew, but have never visited - very strange.
This next one has undergone a serious change of use many years ago, but is still recognisable.
It may be instantly spotted by one of the many who are quite local.
North Kent

It is a Culpepper memorial in Goudhurst church.

[Lutonman]

I have no idea

[John Walker]

Well it looks like three of our regulars know it.    


No guesses from new members so whoever dives in first with the name of the location takes over for the next round.

[Diapason]

I thought that this was in Hollingbourne church but that would be at the foot of a steep hill not the top

[CAT]

Colepeper?

[John Walker]

The church is at the top of a steep hill.

Grandarog and JohnFilmer, I was hoping it might attract some new members of the GTP thread.  I have noticed that GTP photos get more views than participants so it looks like other forum members are looking in.   Come on in and join us - we're not an elite bunch.  I'll keep adding clues that might help.


If we have no new 'guessers' by tomorrow evening then whoever is online first - go for it to keep the thread moving 

[johnfilmer]

I’m not ignoring this as I too know it and like Grandarog rather hope that some new blood is out there.

[John Walker]

Next to an old hotel with great views.

[grandarog]

   Know it .Will wait a while give others a chance ,perhaps some new guessers will try.

Slightly west of mid Kent

Thanks John


An interesting building and grounds.  I've viewed it on estate agent's sites - as you say - very impressive.


Next one.  Where would you find this memorial?  Shouldn't be too difficult.

[johnfilmer]

You have it JW. An interesting place, apparently the old house was transported from Sussex and added to existing buildings, including a forge, some time before 1910. There was a bit more at the front but that was knocked down to provide the present hard standing.


If you view any of the estate agents details that appear online you will see that it is a substantial property with extensive gardens with good views. Obviously the further up the hill towards the ruined castle, the better the view.


The Edwardian pile, Thurnham Keep, allegedly built from spoil taken from the castle ruin is just over the road. I did do a preliminary survey in there, but it was too extensive for us, a commercial install rather than just a large domestic.


Carry on JW
