St Peter & St Paul : Bromley

The nineteenth centry church, except for the fifteenth century tower, was entirely destroyed by a 550 pound bomb in April 1941, the tower itself being gutted by the resulting fire. The church was rebuilt in 1949-57 to the south of the old church, leaving the tower, which had previously stood at the west end of the south aisle, at the north-west corner of the new structure. The architect was J Harold Gibbons, and the design was partly influenced by his church at Kenton, near Harrow, Middlesex, although Bromley is on a much grander scale.
