History

[edit]

Before the church

[edit]

In the mid eighteenth century the area containing St Augustine's Church and the majority of the surrounding area was all agricultural fields,[1] the buildings of Burnt Ash Farm were located to the north of the site.[1][2][3][4] By the 1860s there were several other farm buildings were present, including Shrofield Farm, close by to the west,[2] College Farm to the northeast,[5][3][4] Claypit Farm to the east,[5] and Grove Farm, which gave its name to Grove Park,[6][7] to the southeast.[5][6][7][8] The South Eastern Main Line railway was built through Grove Park in 1865,[9] connecting the existing Lewisham station to the newly built Chislehurst railway station. In 1868 the line was extended to join Tonbridge railway station,[9] then in 1871 Grove Park railway station opened 300 m (330 yd) to the south of where the St Augustine's Church would soon be built.
