Guess the Place

[John Walker]

The photo is the closest I could get on GSV.  This church is very much out in the sticks.  Well marked on GSV though.

Thanks Grandarog - An impressive building rather tucked away in Faversham.  I tried to find an interior photo of the first floor but no luck.  I'm guessing it could be quite special.

An item made in Canterbury is part of this church.

Over to you John Walker.
I said it wouldn't last long .New there would be Masons about that would recognise straight away.
Actually was the original Queen Elizabeth School Faversham before the Masons acquired the building. There is a plaque .

[John Walker]

I think that is or was a Masonic Hall.  In Abbey Place, Faversham ?

Sorry, no, head East.

Thanks Bryn,
                      Don't think this one will last long.

Challock it is! So Granderog has it.

Not to go to far off topic DaveTheTrain, but in Kent you have to move slightly sideways from the idea that an isolated church marks the site of a deserted/lost village due to the Black Death, or other pestilence. Its more that the church evolved from the private chapel/church of the manorial lord. Sometimes the village moves towards the church, whilst other times it forms away from it and they have to commute. This is why you frequently see the local manor house/court lodge near the church.

I held off to give others a chance , It,s Challock Church.


For interest the church was extensively bombed and damaged in WW2 and rebuilt. There are some lovely murals inside well worth a visit if you can gain access.

And it is also quite some distance (~1mile) from the village centre down a lane with only 1 other house near it.  I was told it was another of those cases of the village moving around the time of Black Death (or some other ague).

I guess this could be described as 'extensively bombed', though the collapse of the roof occurred after the war as a result of damage sustained during.

Not there, Keith  -  too near Ashford.


Approx. Equidistant between Canterbury and Ashford.
