St Peter and St Paul's Churchyard, Bromley (also known as Bromley Parish Church)

Introduction

The churchyard contains many tombs and monuments, including the pink granite obelisk to Coles Child, Lord of the Manor (d.1873). There are mature lime and horse chestnut trees, and a beech hedge surrounds the World War 1 memorial, initially positioned outside the east end of the church. The 19th-century lych gate was also relocated to its present site after the church was rebuilt following World War 2 bombing.
