Description
The Convent of the Holy Trinity, located on Plaistow Lane in Bromley, has been in use as a convent since 1888. The building was originally named "Freelands" and was constructed by John Hulls around 1708. It is three storeys tall, with the second storey being of more recent date, and features seven windows. The structure is made of red brick and includes a brick stringcourse above the ground floor, a parapet, and a hipped slate roof. The glazing bars are intact, and the end window bays project slightly. The south-east front has three window bays, with the central bay projecting and featuring a round-headed window on the second floor, along with a porch that has a projecting cornice and double doors made up of six moulded panels. The north-east front includes a central curved bay with three windows on each floor. There are modern additions for the Convent School located to the north-west.
