Just looking around at various styles of church and I'm going to stick my neck out here and guess that this one is 11th to 13th century.  ;D

It does look like quite a well maintained, typical English garden, but it appears to outside the fence of the church, so perhaps the photo was taken from the vicarage garden next door.  :-\

I had a thought today. Are there any gardening enthusiasts who could pinpoint some plants and then any that have a specific or local geography?

Ruskie , the more I look the more I see Saxon similarities so maybe even 600-800ad with additions over the centuries

I agree. I said earlier I thought it was medieval period (5th to 15th century).

Built with flint so lies in the chalk belt, the only chalk I ever seen was used on a blackboard. :)

Apologies if this has already been suggested (and probably discounted :)) but I am wondering whether we are looking at a church that can be approached from two ways - the photographs being taken as you approach the church from the vicarage/Big House, and then there being a second approach coming from the left of the pictures as you look at them.  This will mean that as the public/Great Unwashed walk towards the portico they will see the text that is written on the side roof of the portico.  The church tower would then be on the left of the church as you approached it from this way.
