Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

More than a "few" miles inland JW.
MartinR - On the death of its last owner the estate(s) are now owned by a charitable trust that he had set up, but the house is still a private residence - but I've yet to find out for whom.

[MartinR]

Is the "rather grand house" still used as a private house?

[John Walker]

A few miles inland from Dover/Deal ?

Some of the other names on the memorial are also ones that pop up during my ancestry searches so local(ish) and found it second memorial - there's lucky. Not found my ancestral link to royalty - yet!
This GTP you get two photos, one of each end of a gated, private road. It leads towards a rather grand house, but both ends are onto public roads, well lanes really.

Central, twixt M2 & M20.

[MartinR]

Centre column, third up from the bottom.
I assume that it is in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul's Church?  If so the location is ME13 8XS, TR 00024 60317 or 51°18'25" N 000°52'06"E.

[Diapason]

Yes! Ospringe it is, I didn`t spot "Neame" on the memorial.

[johnfilmer]

Ospringe?

[MartinR]

I see that one of the names is a Neame.  Could this be Faversham area?

[John Walker]

Medway Towns area ?

[grandarog]

I will give this one a miss.To easy for me.

[Diapason]

Where is this memorial?

[John Walker]

Although I am not a pub goer, I enjoyed reading about the `Admiral Owen ` in Sandwich. This is an area that I know nothing about, the area between
Ramsgate & Dover I have not visited, except for the residence at `Cliffesend `in the 1930`s ( Sister worked there + Six St. Bernard dogs, they owned )

Just the opposite for me Castle261.  It's an area I know quite well having close by a few years back.  It's the Medway towns that I struggle with.

[John Walker]

You may have seen me mention before. My ancestor John Woodruff ,Vicar of Upchurch ,did much to eradicate the problems in the Village caused by Marsh Fever or Marsh Ague as it was known in the 19th century. With moneys from his own pocket he supplied villagers with Medicine which stopped or combated much of the suffering. By the time he died there were hardly any cases being recorded in the Village.

That's something to be proud of in your family tree Grandarog.  So far I've not found any claim to fame in my tree.  Nearly all agricultural and mill workers as far back as the 1700s.
