Hello to everyone, I am the owner of http://poppysplace-poppy.blogspot.co.uk/ and I found this site by tracking my blog views :) I am really pleased that my blog has been of use in this thread. The church is one of my favourites, and unless you know exactly where it is, is hard to find. There are plenty of other churches on my blog for those of you who are interested. This looks a lovely site, I will enjoy finding my way round, regards to all :)

I think I am right in saying the church is Victorian, and is partly a copy of another amazing church, built in the 12th Century -  I wonder if anyone knows which one?  ;)

Hi Poppy, It's lovely to have you join us, I hope you will stay around and help us along with the WAI searches.  Fabulous photos on your blog  :)

Am I right in saying that the church was a copy of Barfrestone Church?

I may be wrong, as I just skimmed through the links, but I got the impression that the church was rebuilt using some of the materials from an earlier church on the same site? We know how keen on the past the Victorians were.

Welcome to you Poppy!  :)

Thank you all for your welcome and comments about my photos, they are much appreciated. Jool, you are correct,the church I was referring to is Barfrestone Church, a truly amazing little church :) Earlier inthis thread there were a couple of people asking about the writing over the doorway of Betteshanger Church. I knew I had photos of it and I will hopefully attach them here, but unfortunately the only words I can read are 'James' and 'AD1868!
