A talk by Lindsey Ould, Borough Archivist for Croydon and Honorary Archivist of St. Mary the Blessed Virgin Addington. Addington is an ancient parish about four miles from Croydon with a Grade 1 listed church dating from c.1080. It became part of the County Borough of Croydon in 1928 but retained its unique village atmosphere well beyond this time. This talk will provide an overview of the development of Addington and an insight into some of its residents and buildings of interest.
