Stubbings, Berks, St. James the Less. The postcard of "Stebbings" Church had been on the website for rather a long time, listed under Stebbing, Essex. The Rev. Tim Goodbody, of Stebbing, has been in touch to say that this isn't his church. I listed it under Stebbing rather than Stebbings because I couldn't find any trace of a Stebbings place-name in the UK, and under Essex, because I could find only one Stebbing. We have Sue Hedger to thank for solving this mystery - it is in fact Stubbings, in Berkshire. Sue says she isn't aware of a name change, so this has to be lain at the door of the postcard manufacturer for getting it wrong! From an old postcard, Bulman Collection. Link1.

Swingfield, Kent, 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. Geoff quotes, "Medieval Chapel built by the Knights Hospitaller's & later converted into a farmhouse". TR 232 440. The former St. Peter (redundant). TR 233 434. © Geoff Watt.
