In which case is the river the Stour?  and are we near Fordwich?


 A tributary of the Stour.  Getting closer with Fordwich but not there.


A famous writer of old lived nearby.

Not Tyler Hill or Sarre.  Tyler Hill is nearest though.


Another clue.  The end of an escape tunnel is reputed to be at this house.

Poor John, no-one's talking to him! ;)
Pure guess, are we anywhere near Sarre?

Is Wye too Far East?


Need to go further northeast quite a way.  This house is a bit remote but there's a large house fairly close and a few other houses in the vicinity.  A village with a pub, a village hall, and a church within walking distance.

Pluckley area?


It has the look of Pluckley but further east. Not on a main road but easy to see on GSV

Thanks Martin - I wasn't 100% sure but it was the only cherub I could find with the head at that angle.  Interesting camera info.






Next one ...

Yes John, you have it. 

I can understand why a phone photo would be a bit small, I used a 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens at 105mm which with the crop factor of APC-C works out at 165mm.  I then further cropped the photo in GIMP.  Shutter speed was 1/200 with the on-camera flash fired.  I should have used an additional flash to bring out the 3D, but I'm afraid I was recovering from climbing the stairs (sad, I know).
Guildhall Museum is at:

I think I've found it but the image I've found is quite small on my mobile.   Guildhall Museum in Rochester - on the stairwell ceiling?
