The two villages of Stansted and Fairseat are perched on the edge of the North Downs in Kent, less than a mile apart. This beautiful area has been my home since 2001 and as an ardent photographer I find I have amassed quite a collection of photographs of the countryside and local events. I also fitfully research historical photographs and writings on the 2 villages and surrounding area. I hope you enjoy my findings.

Pre 1918 postcard of Stansted Church
Front and back of a tinted photo of Stansted Church. The printed 1/2d postage block suggests that this card is dated pre June 1918, as after then postage for a postcard increased to 1d. So this card is an antique!
Of course, it is also showing the church on the side that the extension has now been added, so has changed a bit in looks now. Thank you for your comment.
Hi, I notice my colleague Dick Hogbin commented on the church photo. I also see that you have collected an excellent assortment of photos and images. Dick and other local residents are planning to bring the old Stansted & Fairseat Society back to life and I am currently working on an accompanying website. Would be good to cooperate??
Well done for finding that image. Very evocative. dick.hogbin@btinternet.com
