Bromley and West Kent Telegraph: Saturday 9th November 1895

Old Bromley: A peep into the past: … Sundridge was owned just after the Conquest by the Blunds or Blounds, who were of a powerful family in France, and came over with the Conqueror. Peter le Blund, owner of the place in the time of Henry III, was made by him Constable of the Tower of London in 1254. His descendant, Edward le Blund, contributed ten shillings towards making the Black Prince a knight, in 1345, being assessed at one fourth of a knight’s fee for that purpose, as appears from the book of “Aids” in the reign of Edward III, the king having the right to levy 40s on every knight’s fee on the occasion of the knighting of his eldest son. This family ended in a female heir, who carried the seat in marriage to Willoughby, from whom it passed by purchase to Booth, whose descendant William Booth was found, by inquisition, to die seized of the manor of “Sundrigg,” in the 1st year of Henry VII., held of the Bishop of Rochester by knight’s service, and by the service of making suit at the court of the Palace aforesaid. A descendent, Seth Booth, dying without male issue, one of his daughters carried it in marriage to Thomas Bettenham, whose grandson, Stephen Bettenham, gave it in marriage with his daughter Anne to Robert Pynsent, of Devonshire. He died without issue, and was succeeded by Thomas Washer, a barrister, whose only daughter, and heir Mary carried it in marriage to William Wilson, high sheriff of the county in 1766. His grandson William Wilson sold the manor in 1792 to Edward G Lind in 1796. Claude Scott, of Chislehuret, purchased it, pulled down the old house, and built the handsome mansion which now stands. …

… … You may now state the following facts: A house has been taken in the Via S. Niccole da Tolentino, and several ladies of good position are, under the guidance of the Lady Abbess Pynsent, 0.S.B., living together in the observance of regular life. This is with the encouragement of ecclesiastical authority pending canonical approbation. Although in the meantime the ladies wear no external distinctive habit, their domestic life is disposed according to the practices of a formed community, with the recitation of the divine office, rising to Matins at 1.30. A special object which they have in view in their preparation is to be of use in giving instruction to others who are led to seek admission into the Church, and so to assist the clergy in this part of their work. Until the present, Mass was said in a room fitted up as a chapel. They have now, however, constructed on the ground floor an oratory tastefully decorated in the Gothic style. Behind the altar is the choir, separated from the sanctuary by open tracery. The altarpiece is a copy of the fresco painting of our Lady before which St. Benedict is said to have prayed when a child. Two life-size statues of St. Benedict and St. Scholastica stand on either side of the chancel arch. There is accommodation in the body of the oratory for about too externs.
