Bromley Common and its Schools

Map of Bromley and Bromley Common c1780
a part of Hasted's map of "The Hundred of Bromley and Beckenham and the Hundred of Ruxley".
(A hundred was a sub-division of a county that had its own court.)

This is a part of a larger map from Edward Hasted's  'The History & Topographical Survey of the County of Kent'
published in 4 volumes between 1778 and 1801. 

Bromley Common National School was built close to the n in Bromley Common
about 50 years after this map was drawn.

Bromley Palace belonged to the Bishop of Rochester: he was also Lord of the Manor of Bromley.

The 'College' at the northern end of Bromley was, and still is, a home for retired clergy.
