Guess the Place

I will confess to having spent a fair bit of my (lost) youth in the Sun at Bredgar, but the Plough and Harrow is not a pub in that village to my knowledge.

Plough and Harrow, Bredgar?  Not an exact match but it might have been changed.

Mr Google reckons that you could reach here from Wormshill in 7-8miles, depending on route.

[John Walker]

Wormshill area?

Mid Kent, north of M20

[John Walker]

East Kent ?

The marks could be either field boundaries or tracks. That they line up with many features makes it very likely that they have some significance.

I read about the church when I saw a sign for it some years ago and wondered why it was where it was. Not every village church is in the centre of the present village, St Mary at Newington is a good example, only now are houses coming back close to it, the rest of the village is along the A2. Same for Teynham, and many others. Plenty of GTP opportunities

Meanwhile, here's one I prepared earlier. The building still exists, with pub signage, but it seems dead, or at least dormant.

A church I knew nothing about previously.  The info from Local Hiker indicates that Challock Village was originally near the church.  I wonder if anything remains.
The first photo shows just how remote the church is now.  The second shows marks in the field next to the church - could they be from the original village?

If that's the one to the south of the village it's dedication is to "St Cosmas & St Damian's Church".  Location information:

... pronounced Chollock, apparently.

Sorry, been out of sorts, yes, Challock

[johnfilmer]

Is it the isolated church near Challock?

[John Walker]

Thanks for taking the mantle Local Hiker.   

I'll pass on this one as I know it - wouldn't be a guess.

[Local Hiker]

I will post to move things on then, thank you.

I visited here back in June. Remember those warm long sunny days?

Unfortunately, I did not realise that it would be locked and that you had to collect the key from a local retailer, so I did not see inside that day.
