Not Bidenden Pete, which I'm unsure about there being a castle near, but West Kent definitely John Walker.

Many thanks John Walker.
Your father in law and myself must have just missed each other as I went and saw the crumpled remains of the spire a day or so after its collapse.


He lived directly opposite and heard the crash but didn't know what it was until the morning.

Your farther in law and myself must have just missed each other as I went and saw the crumpled remains of the spire a day or so after its collapse. A local at the time suggested even the church tower had been 'on the sauce' during the storm and couldn't even stand upright so had a night in the churchyard.


Here is my next, which is close to a castle, but where...?

Go on, I'll bite. St Mary's Church, Minster, Thanet? Needed a new spire after it was blown off in the storm of 1987?


That's the one CAT  :D .  My Father in Law, Allan Yates took the photo a few days after it happened.


Over to you ...

Pub and restaurant nearby.  A Roman villa was found about 300 mtrs from this church.

Does the pile of rubble by the base of the tower have anything to do with the October 1987 storm?
Well spotted JohnFilmer.  Getting hot now

A very prominent village church. Photo taken in the late 1980s

Well my excuse is I've been a bit busy and not had the time to play. Although it has to be said I never guess churches right anyway.   ;D

I thought as it's a church it might have been guessed quickly.
