Holy Trinity Church, Twydall, Gillingham, Kent
...
In 1948 most of the Twydall area was orchards and farmland. Now it is a large housing estate stretching from (as far as I'm concerned) Featherby Road to Pump Lane. From there it becomes known as Rainham ... but these are 'moveable feasts' .
This church was the subject of a lot of discussion and seems to have been designed to echo the shape of an oast house. Oast houses were used for drying hops for the brewing industry. The phrase 'Thirst after righteousness' springs to mind!
