Chislehurst is a suburban town in Kent. Chislehurst developed from around the 13th century, part of the Manor of Scadbury. The ruins of Scadbury Manor can be viewed in Scadbury Park. The town became suburbanised between the wars. Chislehurst Caves were originally used to mine flint and chalk and used as an air-raid shelter during World War II. Camden Place dates from 1717 and was named after the antiquarian William Camden who lived in the former house on the site. The mediæval Church of Saint Nicholas is the oldest building in the town. The town is within the council area of Bromley.
