Thanks JohnFilmer.  That one took some head scratching.  I must have searched every church in the area but your clues helped in the end.


Here we go - next one.   I'm away over the weekend but I'll look in on my phone when I can.

That's the place JW, and here's what you can't see on GSV.
The prominent war memorial is the white cross on the face of the Downs.

Over to you.

KeithG, you are drifting away from the target area, so, no, not Otham

Sorry JW, not Ulcombe, but still in the right general area.

This lynch gate gives access to the churchyard from a square of historic buildings, and leads towards the west of the church. The north porch has a path to the road.


A quick check and the lych gate is obscured on GSV, the only direct view is interrupted by a Transit van.

Gone quiet.
The prominent war memorial mentioned is Grade 2 listed, and not in the churchyard beyond this lych gate.

I believe that it is just the build date of the present structure, as a much more prominent war memorial exists.
Near, not at, Boughton Malherbe is correct so far....

The date might suggest a WWI commemorative memorial?

Not there JW, but a lot closer to another Boughton.
