Description: | This is the prototype for a promotional mug of Bromley Museum of
which 720 were produced for sale. The building illustrated is
the Priory which was never actually a Priory, but a manor house
and rectory. The site dates back to the 13th century when it was
the centre of a large estate that was farmed to generate an
income for the Church. In the 19th century the house passed into
private ownership and acquired the 'Priory' name in reference to
its medieval past. It was finally purchased by Orpington Urban
District Council in the 1940s and became a museum in 1965. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bromley Museum | Rights holder: | Bromley Museum Service | Subjects: | Public services | Temporal: | 9.1989 | Source: | Bromley Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
