Sadly it's not East Peckham Lutonman, but the view is indeed the east end of St Peter's Church, Bredhurst, so johnfimer has it correct. The church possesses a west tower, nave, chancel and a south chapel giving the double gables east end. Despite the ivy covering the chancel (right side of the picture), when this painting was done it was the chapel (left side) that was described as being ruined. This was remedied during the 1860's when the entire church was restored.
Regards its location, despite it feeling its in the countryside, its location is no more than 1/2 km from the M2. The present village of Bredhurst is located more towards the northwest, whilst archaeological evidence has shown that the original medieval village was located both in the open fields and the small parcel of woodland surrounding the church. As for the name Bredhurst, generally the term 'hurst' represents a clearing/settlement amongst the trees/forest, which is why large numbers of 'hurst' village names (Goudhurst, Staplehurst, Wadhurst, Ticehurst etc.) are to be seen across the Kent and Sussex weald. This was due to this area formerly being covered by the Great Wealden forest of Andred, giving us the name of 'Andredes weald' in the middle ages and 'Andredesleage' in the Anglo Saxon period. The 'leage' portion of the work being Old English for woodland and represented in modern times by the word 'Liegh'
So following my ramble, its over to you johnfilmer
