Bromley Civic Centre (also known as Bromley Palace Park, Grounds of Former Palace of Bishops of Rochester)

Introduction

What remains of the former park is south of the Old Palace ruins, and includes the lake, once part of the medieval moat, two Pulhamite rockeries and a Folly incorporating medieval stonework created for Child, and possibly an 18th-century ha-ha, although this may also be the work of James Pulham & Sons.
