Apologies for delay, sunshine meant a bit of much needed gardening has got done - even cut the grass.
This is a private house, main road, mid kent. Certain members will know it well, but the unique appearance should appeal to many. It fascinates me.

Well done JohnFilmer. That's the one. I spotted it while searching for the Sutton Valence GTP.
(Behind the church is a female prison.
East Sutton Park is an open prison and young offender institution (YOI) in Maidstone, Kent, for women aged 18 and over)

Over to you.

It's gone very quiet... I know this (I hope), but held back. No takers, or even a SWAG (scientific wild arsed guess) so here I go.
The very distinctive outline is of St Peter & St Paul, East Sutton. Another of the churches along the Greensand Ridge.

Very small village/hamlet. Close to a golf course.
Thought to have been a wooden church here originally.

Thanks Diapason
Interesting stuff about Doctor Syn.
Next one ... Where is this unusual church. Shouldn't be difficult.

It was for the Dr Syn The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh 1963 .
Quote :-
St Clement’s Church
Old Romney
doubled as Dr Syn’s
Dymchurch
parish church in the production. Walt Disney funded the repair of the building in order to use it as a filming location. The interior was painted pink by the crew and remains so to this day.

I've just had an enjoyable hour or so watching Dr Syn, it's on YouTube at
I'm slightly puzzled though, the pews look quite different, for one thing in Dr Syn they are individual pews whereas your photo shows box pews. Bit difficult to tell though in B&W.

St. Clement it is. Apparently the interior was repainted by the film crew for the film Dr. Syn. How they obtained permission is a mystery.
Over to you John!

If it isn't St Nicholas Church how about St Clement's Church in Old Romney. I think there's another in the area but can't remember the name.

Small basic structure, probably extended each side.
Box pews (pink
) make me think not messed about with later? Therefore remote?
Doesn’t fit any North Downs church I know.
How about out on The Marsh?

Is this a chapel within somewhere like a castle?
