Chislehurst

Chislehurst, a village in Kent, 11 miles SE. of London. Sir Nicholas Bacon was a native. Camden Park estate (now built over) was the residence of William Camden. Napoleon III. died at Camden Place in 1873; his remains, with the Prince Imperial's, were removed to Farnborough in 1888. There are an Orphanage, a Governesses' Benevolent Institution, and a golf-course (1894) here. See History by Webb, Miller, and Beckwith (1900).
