Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Struggling with this one.  I usually use the tower as my first pointer ie, Spire, castellations and windows etc but as it seems this tower has been remodeled this won't help.


It seems we're looking east of Sandwich so a quick guess, St Nicholas Parish Church, Ash
?

[CAT]

Afraid it's not St peter's in Sandwich MartinR, your a little to far east.

The Cathedral fixing is slightly more rarer than the bells. In fact you could say it is almost unique.

[MartinR]

St. Peter's Sandwich?  In 1727 6 bells were purchased from Canterbury Cathedral, recast into 8 in 1779 but unringable since 1913.

[CAT]

Only the lower two thirds of the tower remain, the top third being remodelled in the restoration.

[John Walker]

Does the tower remain much the same?

[CAT]

A quick clue.

The church, which dates from the twelfth-century, possesses part of Canterbury cathedral as one of its fixtures.

The photo is not in negative Diapason with the view being of the North side of the church as MartinR rightly deduced. It's not Teynham, but is a church in East Kent. The porch is actually concealing the North door, which is the main entrance despite it having a larger west door.

[MartinR]

Well the door with a porch is unlikely to be a priest's door into the chancel, so that implies the east end is to the left of the picture, the view must therefore be from the north.  I'm still no closer to identifying it though.

At first I thought the negative of this church had been printed with the wrong side down on the paper, but on second thoughts, now knowing that there had been some alteration, the only church that I can think of that bears some resemblance, is St. Mary, Teynham, viewed from the south, although I don`t think it is and am very interested where this church is.
 

[CAT]

It does still exist, but the pic I posted is an early one ahead of its restoration. Whilst the restoration was fairly severe, the church is still fairly recognisable.

[John Walker]

Not having a lot of luck with this one so far.  Does it still exist?

[CAT]

Though the jaunty angle and the blossom camouflage helped

Here is my next, but where?

[Local Hiker]

CAT, I was indeed. That is the gatehouse through the blossom.
I guess that I need to get out with the camera more since I have resorted to using photos of one of the most famous landmarks in the world to play GTP.
Over to you...

[CAT]

Were you were walking around the outer moat edge towards the main entrance to Leeds Castle?
