Believed to date back to 1032, Orpington Priory and its surrounding gardens form a pleasant oasis just behind Orpington High Street. The Priory, so called, is currently home to Bromley Museum.

Plans to develop the building and the exhibitions have, however, currently fallen foul of a failed Lottery Fund bid and the unwillingness of Bromley Council to commit any more money to the site. All options are being explored, but with the proviso that they must cost nothing !
