Some details about Kington and an earlier course routing which changed to the current routing apparently in the 1930's have arisen.
Firstly, a pre-WW2 photo that shows what was then the 4th hole. The tee being positioned above and to the right of the (then and now) 3rd green and playing to the currently numbered 17th green.

And below the old course routing.
Notable differences to the current routing appear to include -
A par-3 (then numbered 9) that no longer exists.
A current par-3 (the
now numbered 9) that wasn't in the older routing
A current par-3 (the now numbered 12th) that was previously a par-4
A current par-4 (the now numbered 13th) that was previously a par-3
The former 18th played from adjacent the present 15th tee to a green 150 yds lower down the hill than at present, ie way below the clubhouse. Note that Google Earth shows the outline of a distinct horseshoe shaped former green in this area.
Some of the current splendid holes and greensites, eg the currently numbered 9, 12 and 18 are not original, which begs a few more questions.
Below the earlier course routing plan.

Some strolling amongst the ferns and the gorse might be needed to see the old green sites.
