Clergy Widows Almshouse - Bromley
From The New and Complete British Traveller 1784 p 022 Bromley Bromley is but a small town, mostly noted for being the residence of the Bishops of Rochester. Dr Warner bishop of this see in the time of Charles I and II founded a house for the reception of 20 poor widows of clergymen, who receive each an allowance of 20 pounds per annum, besides 50 pounds to a chaplain who reads prayers, and preaches on Sundays. This was the first foundation of this sort ever established in England, but it has been since followed in some other dioceses. He was Bishop of Rochester 1637-he died 1666. Opposite the house where the widows have their apartments, is the work-house, first built in 1731.
