Thanks Stewie, went there years ago when we had a Year ticket for EH.
Where would you find this next Guess the Place?

That is Charles Darwins front door at Downe House. English Heretage Property.

One of the residents of this house shocked sections of Victorian society with their views at the time.

Well done John Walker assuming you are correct (and the details you give suggest so), I am very impressed! For everyone else there are clues in JW's last entry :-)

Found it.  I've been there a couple of times but didn't remember the main entrance.  All my memories are inside and at the rear.  I'll hold back for a while as I've had quite a few lately.   ;)

The door to a house that the public can visit?

Thanks Lutonman, we visited here earlier in the year and did some of the woodland walks so it looked familiar at first sight. Going through my pictures I found this front door, can you tell where it is? Clues, visible on GSV and is in Kent!
