Guess the Place

[CAT]

The spherical 'ball's is the base of the weather vane, which is bent and standing above, but due to the angle of the pic looks like a rod.

[Smiffy]

Nothing to do with GtP, but does anyone know what the spherical object is on top of the tower?

[CAT]

Possibly, though I think both towers date from the same/similar period and is more stylistic?

[pete.mason]

The Tower looks identicaltoHastingleigh, I wonderif it was the same builders/mason?

[CAT]

That's the one John Walker.

It's a very interesting church as the chancel, which is almost as large as the nave itself was added to the earlier twelfth century nave during the early thirteenth-century giving the church an almost continuous roofline from the west tower to the chancel gable.

Over to you

[John Walker]

St Margaret of Antioch Church, Womenswold ?

[CAT]

not Hastingleigh Pete. Head northeast.

[pete.mason]

Hastingleigh?

[CAT]

Difficult to say. Certainly 'up on the Downs', but not especially elevated in the immediate village landscape, though it sits slightly above the lane that leads past its eastern end.

[John Walker]

Elevated location ?

[CAT]

East Kent it is indeed John Walker.

[John Walker]

No luck with this one so far - need to narrow the search - East Kent ?

[CAT]

Design classic I think more than arty-farty?

Here we are with my next, but where?

[castle261]

Neither John Walker, just some observations of what I see.

Actually drove past this morning from shopping and although on some sites they say this is the second water tower it is the third ?


It is the second cement tower but the original brick tower with it`s steel tank is still in place!
