Golden Green, possible church. Can you confirm? TQ 637 482. © Geoff Watt. Howard Richter has been researching this building, and advises that it is St. Mary's Mission Church, from St. Mary in Hadlow, about 2 miles away, dedicated in 1919. According to their website, the church still holds services, and also serves as a community hall. The Mission was preceded in the village by a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, which stood at about TQ 638 483. This shows on old maps from the 1908 edition, but not on the earlier 1897/8. It appears to have still been in use in 1961, but is not named, though still standing, and so presumably no longer in use as a church, on the 1961/2 edition. It was demolished before the 1983 map. Nos. 1 and 2 Chapel Cottages now stand on the site.

The house which stands on the site today has a date-stone. Unfortunately I can't read it on Streetview (2019), so I don't know if it's from the chapel. This source dates it to 1899-1956.

Swingfield, the Old Templar Preceptory. This old illustration comes (Colin thinks) from a Folkestone newspaper late in Victoria's reign, reproduced from an earlier book. Whether it is an artist's impression or an accurate reproduction is unknown. This link describes it as a "Hospittaler parish church", so a Templar connection is at least plausible. Illustration from Colin Waters' Collection. Janet Gimber has confirmed that this is the same building - St. John's Commandery. © Geoff Watt.
