My mum and most of her side of the family are commemorated in a memorial stone in the graveyard at St Pancras Church and my Grandparents were married there in 1927.

Oi! I've never visited Coldred. :o   But I did spend a week last back end doing navigation and fixes.  The road map showed that it could only be that T junction, and the Carpenter's Arms left leapt out at me from the map.
Next one will be along tomorrow - watch this space!

Well my first go at being "it" on Guess the Place didn't last very long.

Despite me desperately trying to throw a red herring at DaveTheTrain, MartinR with his superior knowledge of Kentish drinking establishments has caught me out.

St.Pancras and the Carpenters Arms are both in Coldred.

To my mind when people talk about deepest darkest Kent, Coldred would get my vote. It really is nowhere near anywhere  :)
I can see I'm going to have to try harder next time I win.

Over to you MartinR.

Would this be close to a private cricket ground?


Dunno about a cricket ground Dave but if you need a clue then its not far from St.Pancras  :)

Is it one of the posts used for the Anglo-French survey of 1784-1790?
