Town or village church? Interesting that it looks like the portion nearest the camera (north aisle(?) is built of Ragstone blocks, but the tower (west end) is if brick. Church rebuilt/restored or built in the nineteenth-century?

Thanks Diapason.  I haven't been there yet but I remember someone mentioning a well preserved beam engine there.  Must make sure I go there next year.


Next one.   Part of a larger church.  This view can be seen on Google Street View but there's a lamp post in front.  (Not Canterbury for a change - further east)

I expect all of us that have been to the Railway recognized the Beam Engine. They ran it at lunch time last time I was there. Young or old its a good value day out.

That was a `pure` guess, and although I was very unsure, it immediately reminded me of Preston Street.
