Another bit of a ramble!! I've been making notes of my own observations and those of others so here goes. Oh and a few architectural terms for Caz too
I agree with Imber, the two photos are of the same porch, but I think taken at different times. the bushes near the window on the right side on #32a are a quite a bit higher. Is there a wall at the top of the steps?
I think it is a church/chapel not a vicarage or church hall as Nell says the windows are more church like. I was thinking on the lines of a private chapel, like Joy, perhaps belonging to an estate. It could also be a chapel for a cemetery, or a hospital, the mental hospital that used to be near where I lived had it's own chapel.
That porch is very ornate for what looks to be a simple flint built building, as Ruskie says, could it be a later addition. We have established that there are two
cross pattee's on the porch and I agree with Malky, there appear to be crosses carved into the
capitals (tops) of the Corinthian columns[/u] (pillars). I can't make out if there are crosses on the two gate posts but there could be. I also think the rib vaulted roof of the porch has very ornate carvings.
Is that a notice attached to what appears to be a short extension near the front door.
I hope the architectural words underlined will do for you Caz.
Pat
I apologise there is more underlining than I intended and my stupid lap top wont let me correct it
