Top Attractions in Croydon

Croydon Palace

Croydon Palace, in Croydon, now part of south London, was the summer residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury for over 500 years. Regular visitors included Henry III and Queen Elizabeth I. Now known as Old Palace, the buildings are still in use as the Old Palace School, an independent girls school of the Whitgift Foundation. The Manor of Croydon was connected with the Archbishop of Canterbury from at least the late Saxon period, and records of buildings date back to before 960. The Palace as it now exists is a group of largely 15th and 16th century buildings, "an aggregate of buildings of different castes and ages", as Archbishop Herring found it in 1754. The 15th-century Great Hall is thought to have been installed by Archbishop Stafford, with a late-14th-century two-storey porch and a vaulted ceiling to the lower chamber. The hall interior has a rich 16th-century timber roof and windows with interesting features such as the late Gothic interior porch. The Great Hall was partially remodelled in the 17th century by archbishops Laud and Juxon, who also rebuilt the chapel. West of the Hall are the state apartments including the first-floor Guard Room, now the school library. The room is ascribed to Archbishop Arundel, and has an arch-braced roof with carved stone supports and an oriel window. Other rooms have later panelling and fireplaces. The chapel has fine 17th-century stalls and an elaborate corner gallery. The fine altar rails are now in the Guard Room. The exterior of the whole palace is of stone or red brick, with early stone windows or Georgian sash windows. The connection of the Archbishops with Croydon was of great importance, with several being important local benefactors. Six are buried in Croydon Minster, neighbouring the Palace: John Whitgift, Edmund Grindal, Gilbert Sheldon, William Wake, John Potter and Thomas Herring. Archbishop Whitgift, who first called it a "palace", liked Croydon for "the sweetness of the place", though not all admired it, in the low-lying site which Henry VIII found "rheumatick", a place where he could not stay "without sickness". Sir Francis Bacon found it "an obscure and darke place" surrounded by its dense woodland. By the late 18th century, the Palace had become dilapidated and uncomfortable and the local area was squalid. An Act of Parliament enabled Croydon Palace to be sold and Addington Palace on the outskirts of Croydon to be bought in 1807. This became the new episcopal summer residence for much of the rest of the 19th century. The historic connection between Croydon and the archbishops is recognised in the modern coat of arms of the London Borough of Croydon.

Museum of Croydon

The Museum of Croydon is a museum located inside the Croydon Clocktower arts facility. It is in Central Croydon, London Borough of Croydon, England. The museum is stated to be a lifetime museum, which showcases historical and stylish artefacts which were derived from the borough. The Museum is part of Croydon Council. The museum opened on the second floor of the Croydon Clocktower in 2006 and entrance to the galleries is free. Many of the exhibitions at the museum are hands on. The Museum of Croydon has a varying range of different aspects of the history of Croydon and the surrounding areas. It incorporates the Riesco Gallery with a collection of Chinese pottery and ceramics, and exhibits about the important black composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor who lived most of his life in Croydon. The museum even includes things that the local IKEA in Purley Way sold when it first opened, such as furniture and the well-known catalogues. It also contains rare artefacts from the local football club, Crystal Palace, such as Peter Taylors contract. They also have exhibitions for young people to voice and direct their opinion, so many other people can come and see their work. In December 2009, the Museum was awarded official recognition by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council showing that the museum management of its collections had met national standards, as well as the facilities that it provides for visitors. In December 2013, the Museum was stripped of its accreditation and excluded from reapplying for five years, following the sale at auction of a portion of its Chinese collection in what was described as a "deliberate contravention" of the "Museums Associations code of ethics".

Croydon Clocktower

The building links into the Town Hall and some areas of the building, most notably the Braithwaite Hall, are part of the original town hall and library complex, built in 1892–1896 to a design by Charles Henman Jun. The Clocktower is the tower of the Town Hall. New buildings were built alongside the Town Hall and were opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994.

From there a steep drive winds down to Coombe Road where a footpath leads to South Croydon railway station for National Rail. The grounds now form part of the park and are open to the Public, but the house itself, like the water tower, is not.

The area had previously consisted of the smaller Town Hall Gardens, and the site of Croydons police station. The Town Hall Gardens had originally been laid out in the 1890s on the site of the disused spur railway line leading to Croydon Central station. The gardens now comprise areas of lawn with standard trees, a central fountain with benches, and a sunken garden area with formal flower beds and trees exploiting the former track bed and station wall complete with original railings on top. Situated just across from Croydons register office, the gardens are popular for wedding photographs. A subway exits the park under Park Lane into an underground car park and across to the Fairfield Halls; the gardens are well-used as a path between Council offices and to the underpass. As part of the Park Place development, there are proposals to radically alter the Queens Gardens, with a more formal and modern planting style, an ice rink, space for performances and entrance into the Park Place shopping centre.

The park includes a village green, pentanque terrain, bowling green, tennis and basketball courts and a café . The park is on the site of the Woodside Convent, however all that remains today is the chapel. The original mansion was built in 1788 and underwent several name changes, the estate was known as Byculla Park from 1855 after a suburb of Bombay . From 1869 to 1878 the mansion was called Stroud Green House after Stroud Green Common a 12-acre stretch of land on the other side of Lower Addiscombe Road. The estate was also, at one point, owned by Henry Dorling, first clerk of the course at Epsom Downs Racecourse and Mrs Beetons stepfather. In 1878 it became the property of Father Tooth, the founder of the Community of the Paraclete. He added a chapel and convent to the original house. Father Tooth brought with him St Michaels Home for Boys, which was for orphan boys and others of the upper classes in every kind of distress. He founded a sisterhood to look after the children and this led to the house being known as The Convent. He also treated alcoholics at the house. Croydon Corporation bought the house and grounds by Compulsory Purchase Order in 1924 and most of the mansion was demolished soon after, a putting green being laid on the site. The only remaining part of the house was the c. 1878 extension which became Ashburton Library. The library was relocated in 2006/7 to the nearby Ashburton School and the building is now in a state of disrepair. Despite the neglect of the café and former library building the local council have spent some money on renovating the public toilets, improving the childrens playing park and adding some features for joggers and fun runners on the perimeter paths. The Park was the venue for the Croydon Summer Show which was held annually over two days and was open till midnight with illuminations and a ten piece dance band. The Friends of Ashburton Park group, launched in September 2013, have come together to put to former library back into community use.
