Glad I could help! There was no great secret to me finding it - made a cup of coffee, and trawled through the subsection on wiki for English flint churches!  Well done all, another puzzle cracked!

I think there is a lesson to be learnt there in keeping it simple!   8)

Thanks for researching that Jennifer, any background material gratefully received!  :)  I wonder if that's who the other chap is in my photo, or maybe his son (with his back to the camera). 

I wonder if we can find a photo of the house.

Here's a photo of Northbourne house. I think that chapel is just off to the right, up that path. I'm sure I've seen a photo with that tree on it.

I think Lord Northbourne's son or grandson Walter James 4th Baron Northbourne (1892 - 1982), won a silver medal at the 1920 Olympics for GB as part of an 8 man rowing team.

If that wasn't enough, he is also credited with inventing organic gardening and was a lecturer in agriculture at the University of Oxford.

How spot on was Joy with her "Lord Someone or other" prediction…  ;D 8)
