A short history of BR1

The earliest record of Bromley is a charter from 862 that names it Bromleag, Old English for a clearing in woodland where broom grew. That year King Ethelbert of Kent gave land for the creation of the Manor of Bromley. It received a market town charter in 1158 and Bishop Gilbert Glanvill of Rochester built Bromley Palace in 1185. Bickley's name is first recorded in 1279. A hunting lodge belonging to the Wells family in 1759 grew into Bickley Hall, designed by Robert Mylne in 1780. John Wells began selling land in 1841 and Coles Child bought Bromley Palace in 1845. Railway stations opened in 1858 and prompted rapid growth. George Wythes then developed much of Bickley with large houses. St George's Church followed in 1865. Of 36 listed buildings near the centre Bromley College and its gateway are Grade I.
