Bromley & Sheppard’s Colleges
Bromley & Sheppard’s Colleges are located in Bromley and today provide accommodation for retired clergy and their dependents. Bromley College provides 40 self-contained dwellings, and Sheppard’s College a further seven. Founded in the 17th century, with later additions and extensions, the property includes three listed buildings.
==Bromley College==
Bromley College was founded in 1666 by the Will of John Warner, Bishop of Rochester, to provide housing for “twenty poore widowes of orthodoxe and loyall clergiemen.” Warner's wish was for it to be built near to Rochester but, as no suitable site could be found there, Parliament passed in 1670 the 'Settlement of Bishop of Rochester's charities act' to enable the college to be built anywhere within the diocese. Numerous others have since contributed further funds for expansion, maintenance and other expenses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45479 )〕
The almshouses were built in 1670–72 around a quadrangle.〔 A second quadrangle was instigated under the direction of Zachary Pearce, and completed in 1805.〔 After 1821 land to the east was purchased and improvements were made in the grounds.〔
It is a Grade I listed building,〔 as is a gateway leading on to High Street.〔 It is the oldest building in Bromley.
