Ruins of Old St James Church and the White Horse Inn, St James Street, Dover, UK.
The Duke of Wellington, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, presided over the last Court of Lodemanage here in 1851.
St James the Apostle Church was destroyed during World War II. Now a war memorial and known as Dover's "Tidy Ruin".
The White Horse public house is said to date from the 14th Century.
The pub is currently run by Jeanette Harper and is a popular venue for cross-channel swimmers, many of who have signed their names on the walls and ceiling.
More information, including a Georgian woodcut engraving of the church, can be found at:
