Oh well - at least I got the flint bit right!   

Thanks Imber.  Agree - same porch further away down the steps.

Agree - my uncle who was a Knight of St John (Hospitallers)had a white cross like that on his great cape.   

Added  but with the 8 points as shown in subsequent posts.

Having another look at this I don't think its a church...well not in the regular sense. I feel it is either a private church or it is a parsonage or vicarage.

The garden is a bit too much for what I know of churches. ( and true that's not much  )

Just wondering about the style, Romanesque maybe

This might help the search:

 The Hospice of St. John, Newcastle Hill, Bridgend. A Medieval House (15th century), once believed to have been a Hospice of the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. Jon of Jerusalem. Two tablets set in the wall, of medieval date, bore the sacred monogram I.H.S. and the Greek cross and Eagle which were the heraldic devices of the Order. These have been removed for safe keeping help...It's the Hospice of St. John...Newcastle Hill, Bridgend.

HI!

The Order of St John have a "Maltese" Cross as their emblem...as in the gates of the previous picture. However, the cross in the original picture enquiry is a "Cross Pattee" ...which is sometimes associated with St Patrick.

Thanks for the clarification Djm...it helps to keep the search on track....I posted that photo as the St. John Hospitallers has been mentioned earlier.

I agree DGibbins that it looks more like a Vicarage than a church or chapel

Could it be a church hall?
