It seems an appropriate time to show this picture.
This is a picture of St Marys Grove (and pond) Tilmanstone dating from the First World War, or just before in 1914.
The above picture was from a booklet, and was found in Mesopotamia by a soldier someone from Tilmanstone, and very strangely it was his FATHER IN THE PICTURE ! - The man pictured is Ted Kemp Senior, who was a Waggoner for the Rice family.
