The explorer and Charles Dickens were friends.

Minster Abbey, (or nowadays "The Abbey Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Sexburgha" built on the site of the Abbey), is the significant religious building I refer to.

So we are within 170 yards of my photo.

The building in my photo was once owned by a Victorian explorer.

We are closing in.

If you want to follow the Dickens thread, curiosity might get the better of you!

Sorry, I was thinking more about the Dickens reference instead of the distance.

Hi CAT. The clues so far include:-
12 miles from Chatham
It is on Sheppey.


Broadstairs is therefore a little too far west.

My amazement was in learning its connection to Charles Dickens.
