Know and will pass on this one unless it gets bogged down.
 I had looked at pictures of Wychling Church but couldn't see the Railings round the grave so dismissed it .Doh :)

Well done Diapason, I’ve been waiting for you to appear. My signature followed yours in the visitors book some years ago. Although we are in Doddington parish, this is the nearest church to us as the crow flies.


Over to you.


Picking up on another recent thread, if you enlarge the image of the end (east) wall you can clearly see some flat red bricks or tiles, supposed to be Roman, incorporated into the fabric of the wall.

Pete, it's amazing how much can be found out with a bit of keyboard punching. Very interesting, thanks.
Meanwhile, here's an easy one - a little church.

On the old GTP I went to the point from which the previous photo had been taken, then took one from a different direction.


So you are not alone in trying to fool the others  8)


I’ll be back tomorrow as “She who thinks that she should be obeyed” is now on a Zoom thingy using the laptop, and all my piccies are on.... the laptop.


See you then.

Very cunning JW.


It’s Smarden again, just a little way along The Street from your last GTP. No idea about the property though it looks very interesting.


Well done JohnFilmer


I took a chance with that one but you're too sharp for me  ;D


I'm hoping another member might know some history of that house.  I couldn't even find out the name.


Over to you.
