The author drove to various churches in Kent, starting with Penshurst Church, where he took photographs of memorials and tombs. He then went to Speldhurst Church, the doors of which were closed. From there, he went to Groombridge, where he took photographs of a small chapel with impressive glass windows. However, he missed the church on his first pass and discovered that it and another church in the village were in Sussex.
