Guess the Place

[Lyn L]

Thank you John,
I believe it's St Michaels and All Angels church, which was the Depot Garrison church for the Royal Marines in Deal.
My eldest brother was there at the time of his marriage  1964 to a Naval Wren.
Now the whole area has been turned into housing,

Lyn, I haven’t any idea at the moment, so if you know the answer fire away, and I’ll provide the next one if that is a problem for you.

[Lyn L]

I thought as soon as I saw it I knew where it was.
My brother married his first wife there  a long while ago. I would have to pass on adding a new GTP though if someone else could have the honours. So


So will name it if that would be OK ? Of course if someone else answers it my problem is solved !

IF it's where I think it is, .... rather nice inside !
Not giving any clues though 

I believe it's been converted into just four luxury apartments    Why not take a guess Lyn L

Thanks MartinR, very informative.


Clue:  Most of the original buildings surrounding this chapel have been demolished making way for residential development.

There's a technical distinction between a church and a chapel which is not based on size.  A church is the parish church¹, so therefore CofE².  A chapel can be: a subsidiary space within a church or cathedral, an Anglican non-parish church such as a mortuary chapel or chapel of ease, or else a non-Anglican church.  The latter may look odd, but it is tied up with the establishment of the CofE and things like marriages.  An older generation in places like Wales would differentiate between "church" (CofE) or "chapel" (typically Methodist).

1) Though a cathedral church is not necessarily a parish church and yet can provide the same facilities for marriages.
2) I think RC common usage follows that of the CofE, but AIUI the legal distinction still applies, so all RCs are legally chapels.

Thanet - too far east.
Not sure if it was Congregational but despite its size, it's named as a chapel.
The building still exists but is no longer a church.
Can be seen on GSV.

[johnfilmer]

I can’t quantify it, but it has the look (to me) of a Congregational Church?

[Diapason]

Thanet area?

[John Walker]

Thanks, JohnFilmer - I lost count of how many times I searched that length of the line.  I don't give up easily, fortunately.


Next one ...  An easier one.

[johnfilmer]

Well done JW, you have it!


That area is Ware Street, hence the where? Clue  


I couldn’t find out anything about the Wesleyan chapel, but it predated the railway.


Carry on Number One...

[John Walker]

That is well hidden     Chapel Lane, Bearsted ?

[johnfilmer]

The road under the bridge, and the farm further along it, is named for a feature shown on the earliest OS maps on NLS, but does not appear thereafter 1870s ish.

[johnfilmer]

Very much in the right area.


But where? (That’s a clue...)
