Not the Greensand Way This footpath marker on Etchden Road, shows the long distance path heading up the access road to Goldwell (and to a bridleway to Great Chart). The other section of the path heads along the road. This is all incorrect as the path heads from Godinton Park to Great Chart. As shown on OS Maps.

Access road to Etchden Road This track leads from Goldwell (house and Oast House) to the road. It is also a footpath to the road. The Railway Cottages are in the background.

The ruins of St Mary’s Church at Little Chart in Kent, England. The church was dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin and the Holy Rood having been built by the Normans in the 11th century. It was described as a handsome building of sandstone with two aisles, two chancels with a steeple at the west end. The steeple is said to have been built in Henry VII’s reign. The Victorians carried out major repairs in the 19th century with new windows, and oak panelling. Sadly, on 16th August 1944 during WW2, St Mary’s received a direct hit from a flying bomb known as a doodlebug. With only the damaged tower and parts of the chancel wall surviving, the bells were removed and stored. The remains still stand today.
