The | Bromley Common Holy Trinity was created as an Ecclesiastical parish in 1842 (built from 1839) to relieve pressure upon [[Bromley St Peter and St Paul, Kent|Bromley St Peter and St Paul]]. The District Church was built on the Commons land which had been enclosed by Enclosure Acts of 1764 and 1821. The Bishops of Rochester as Lords of the manor had owned much of the Commons Land; in the period from 1843 land was purchased by prominent families. The church with graveyard was built of flint in Gothic style on junction of the Tunbridge Turnpike Road (later Hastings Road) and the Westerham Turnpike Road (nowadays Oakley Road) The total cost of the church and the later addition in 1843 of the tower are recorded in the Burial Register front page. The District was assigned by an order in Council 10 June 1843 under 59 Geo, III 134 section 16.<br> | ||
The Norman family who purchased most of the land of the Common area and major houses were the major benefactors for the church including an entire re-roofing of the church and gift of a large parcel of land to extend the graveyard. Only part of the land formed an extension the remaining land was never utilized for burials but forms allotment gardens to the present day.<br> | |||
