Guess the Place

[MartinR]

I'm sitting this one out.  Not only did I recognise it at once, but I have visited there several times and have even written about it.

[John Walker]

Thank JohnFilmer.  I do have one ready, so I'll jump in.


Shouldn't be too difficult.

[johnfilmer]

I have an internet problem, can only get online with iPad.


Both sons coming this afternoon (it’s my birthday [size=78%]) so hopefully they can sort out our booster plug thingys and get us back to normality. Our cottage is a Faraday Cage with steel reinforced concrete beams so we are reliant on them.[/size]


Can I therefore pass the baton to JW, who did, after all, find the correct answer?

[John Walker]

Oh dear 😜
I've been so tied up searching that I missed John's answer. Brain not in gear...

[MartinR]

@John Walker - sorry, John Filmer got it this morning.  You're right though, but he gets the cigar.

[John Walker]

I think it's the grave of the Miller Family.  All Saints Church, Frindsbury ?

[johnfilmer]

That was a bit of a mission! About five attempts over the last couple of days, in the end a combination of Mr Google, Wikipedia, GSV and finding the optimum level of magnification to be able to guess the name on the monument.


Back soon, need to look encouraging while someone else does some (of my) manual labour

Over to you.

The Miller Monument at All Saints, Frindsbury.

[MartinR]

No John, but thanks for the info, I didn't know the Jewish Cemetery had been listed recently.   BTW, "Church" not "Synagogue" nor the horrible "PoW" that they put on maps these days.  "When I were a lad", PoW meant Prisoner of War!

[johnfilmer]

Is it in the recently listed Chatham Jewish Cemetery?

[MartinR]

No takers or guesses in 24 hours?  The monument is a grade II listed building in itself.  It lies within the churchyard of a grade II* listed church.  Oh, and if you look really closely, the family name is readable.

[MartinR]

Try this one then.  I've blanked out the church details, so you can just concentrate on the rather fine (and listed) tomb.  Clues (if needed) at slow intervals.

[Stewie]

Now that is impressive MartinR though I did not measure the elevation! Back to you!

- and that 42m means your feet were 138' above ordinance datum.  Close enough?
