Sidcup

SIDCUP, a hamlet, in the parish of Foot's-Cray, union of Bromley, hundred of Ruxley, lathe of Sutton-at-Hone, W. division of Kent, 3½ miles (S. E.) from Eltham. There are several gentlemen's seats in the neighbourhood. St. John's church, Sidcup, was built chiefly at the cost of Lord Bexley, and Henry Berens, Esq., and was consecrated in April 1844: great attention has been paid to the arrangement of the interior, which contains some beautiful carving. The Bishop of Rochester is patron of the benefice.
