Davington priory at Faversham?


Not there Beachbum - StuartWaters was much nearer with Sandwich area.


According to a village history site, The Danes killed over 70 villagers and Nuns in this area.

A Roman Villa was found in the field next to this GTP although it never seemed to make any headlines as I recall.


This GTP is built on fairly low laying ground with a hill rising behind it.

An estuary used to come very close to this place.  (That should help  :)  )

South of M20?




NNE of the M20 and the A2


Still in use as far as I'm aware.


I used to renovate/paint old ploughs and mangles in the grounds before the re-location of the artefacts.

First guess -  Close to Charing Church.


More likely to be within or close to the Precincts of Canterbury Cathedral.


Neither of those Diapason.  I'll hold back on clues other than to say it's not West Kent but the building can be seen on GSV (Not this view).
