I’m afraid you are both at the wrong end of the county John Walker and Diapason. Head northwest(ish) almost towards the waters edge

I'll take a guess at this one - St Marys Church, West Hythe.   Not sure as I can't match the architecture - unless there's been some artistic licence in the drawing.

I don`t know this church but will have a stab at it.


Eastbridge on the Romney Marsh?

Many thanks Diapason


i too was secretly holding back as I worked at the church about two years ago and remembered it very well.


Here is my next, a small ruined parish church drawn towards the close of the eighteenth century, but still surviving today, but where?

How about it being St Mary's Church Fordwich?

I guessed it early on but have left it as I've put quite a few up recently. I thought it might be Chilham at first and then the penny dropped. I was there a couple of weeks ago.
If nobody else tries by this evening, I'll put my answer up.

I`m very surprised that you haven`t guessed this one, John, as I believe it`s very close to your area. It`s a few years since I took this photo, but I believe the church was behind me at the time.

Approx. 30 miles adrift, Pete. Near water.

The moment I saw it, I knew it was familiar, but had to check with my own photo of 2014.


Here`s one that I think will be just as easy for you.

That was a good one Pete.  More Kent history learned too.


Next one ....


Where is this lovely rural church?
