I'm away for a week, probably with bad internet connection.  I'll join in if possible but at least you'll all know I'm not ignoring the thread.

I'm still having picture issues, so bear with me. This is either easy if you know it, or not...

Ah John, that explains the chapel term.  It would be a private chapel as in many stately homes, almshouses, hospitals or Anglican schools.  Not a parish church so therefore however big and impressive still a chapel.

You have it JohnFilmer.  It is St Augustines Chapel. Originally part of St Augustines Psychiatric Hospital, Chartham.  Over to you ...


51.246685235499505, 1.0304661256287007

St Augustine’s Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in Chartham, Kent, England. It was founded as the second, or East, Kent County Asylum in 1872. In 1948 the hospital became part of the National Health Service and was renamed St Augustine's Hospital. The hospital gained notoriety in the 1970s when it was the subject of a committee of inquiry into malpractice and mismanagement. St Augustine's Hospital closed in 1993 and the site is now occupied by housing, although a few of the original hospital buildings remain.

I found it a while ago, but thought to hold back to let others have a go. But...


It’s Chartham, and that is one big Chapel!

The place this chapel was connected to had a bad reputation.  That should help.

An 'A'Road, railway line and river running close together about 1/2 km away to the North.  Station slightly to the NW.

Thank you John W, yes they are alike to others.
I married in St Georges ( HMS Pembroke ) also 1964 , the only difference in that and the Deal one  was the carpet in the aisle. Blue for RN and red for RMs.
And I thought I was being clever , never mind best of luck to who guesses it correctly, Can't wait to find out where now  x

Sorry Lyn L, it's not that one but I can see why you thought it was as it's so similar. Possibly the same architect.   :(
