More about this scene

On the left are the remains of the Archbishop's Palace, or manor house, where Archbishop Warham entertained Henry VII in 1507, and where Henry VIII stayed in 1520 when he was on his way to the Field of the Cloth of Gold. The body of the church, mainly 15th-century, is older than its Perpendicular tower, which is a local landmark.

I was in a children's home for a very short time in the summer of 1946. Does anyone have any infomation? I believe it was called The Lantern.
I was born in Kench Hill Nursing Home to parents living in Payne Street Farm, Charing but have never visited. Does it appear on the map or jigsaw puzzle?
