Info The Charnel House is a grade II listed charnel house in the village Cliffe, Kent. The Charnel House was built during the mid 19th century. It was used as a make-shift mortuary until the bodies were taken away to be buried. Its location close to the River Thames is key as bodies found were washed up or floating along the Thames were retrieved and taken to the charnel house to be stored awaiting identification and burial. The building continued to be used until the start of the twentieth century, when a series of Public Health Acts forced buildings such as this to become redundant. After this, the Church used it for storage and at one time a hive of bees was also put in there to deter intruders.

- Comment Thanks for your review, LivioAndronico. It is not a church though, but a charnel house. It is located in the corner of a graveyard next to a rather nice church. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:11, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support Shadow is disturbing but very great composition. Nice subject. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 23:22, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral -- Nice quality, but the shadow and the tree branches are distracting IMHO. I think it is better to show the whole tree rather than cropping it and letting some branches creep into the picture. Nikhil (talk) 02:15, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support. A bit QI-y but for some reason I can't explain, it just seems more interesting than the average QI. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:48, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
