Guess the Place

[Diapason]

Murston?

[CAT]

Neither of those John Walker and Lutonman. The church is still within its associated village, though this has changes dramatically in the modern age. It is supposed it’s ruination during the mid medieval period caused a new church to be built nearby, itself a very active church.

[Lutonman]

St Mary's Church Street Cliffe area?

[John Walker]

St Marys, Burham.  In a deserted village?

[CAT]

It's not Elmley Pete. It's on the Kentish 'mainland' and was a ruin until the early twentieth century when it was restored to full working order, but there is a twist to its full working order.

Elmley Church?

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

[John Walker]

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.

[Diapason]

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


Eastbridge on the Romney Marsh?

[CAT]

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?

[Diapason]

Well done CAT!


Over to you.

[CAT]

How about it being St Mary's Church Fordwich?

[John Walker]

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.

[Diapason]

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.

[John Walker]

It's gone very quiet on here
