Keep trying, but it is neither Cobham or Shorne.  Hint: the painting is of the church prior to the main body being rebuilt in 19C.

Lets see if I can beat JohnWalker to it.
Reckon it is St Peter and Paul at Shorne. :)

Go north from your original guess.

Struggling with this one.  How about north of the A2 between Rainham and Faversham?

I'm okay with martinR taking it as his answer was just ahead of mine by a few seconds.
CAT, I said Leeds because that's all you asked for, its obviously Leeds in Kent as we are the KHF after all!

MartinR - No clue where the new one is though.

I'm not sure where I saw this painting, but it is of a church in Kent.  Which one?

It is indeed the Kentish metropolis of Leeds, but this now creates a potential problem as MartinR inferred both Leeds (up that there north), but the Kent Leeds in his map referencing. This should lead to MartinR taking the next GTP, though Lutonman clearly mentioned 'Leeds', but which one was he referring to? I'm all confused now! :D.

I think MartinR should take the offering, unless he hasn't another pic ready then its over to Lutonman?

Don't worry MartinR - northerners sometimes refer to Canterbury City as a small town in Kent.   :D
