A bit of google streetview suggests maybe not Chilham.
That raised pavement is familiar. Would it still be there if we visited today?

Many thanks grandarog.

As a confession, despite working next to it, over the road from it and everywhere near it, I've never been inside. Will make a special effort next time.

Here is my next offering, which is a period village view, which also might not take to long, but where....?

Certainly is CAT. Well visited place so didn't think it would last long.
Just to the left of the main door as you approach.
Over to you.

Is it in Maidstone? The open timber framing and Ragstone suggest it could be. Even one of the entrances to the Maidstone Carriage Museum?

Probably miles and centuries off, but getting an Ightham Mote vibe.

  I think that is the Clock Tower of the old Looney Bin at Leybourne .West Malling.
Now converted to flats named  Royal Victoria Place .
  I think the grounds are engulfed in housing now.
