A short history of BR3

Stone Age and Bronze Age finds at nearby Holwood Park point to early settlers and a Roman camp stood in the area with the London to Lewes Way passing through. Beckenham appears in a charter of 862 as Biohhahema mearc. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Bacheham, with the manor held by Anschil of Rochester while Bishop Odo was overlord of Kent. The name is thought to mean Beohha's homestead. Elmers End probably takes its name from the Aylmer family, landowners in the 13th century. William Kelshulle was granted the Kelsey estate in 1408 and Peter Burrell bought it in 1688. John Cator the younger bought most of the Beckenham manor in 1773. After the railway arrived in 1857 villas spread and the population rose from 2,000 to 26,000 by 1900. Beckenham Cemetery opened in Elmers End in 1876. The Kelsey mansion was demolished in 1921, leaving two Grade II listed lodge cottages. Of 22 listed buildings nearby the Parish Church of St George is Grade II*.
