Bust of Lord Dowding, Bentley Priory Museum
Air Chief Marshal Hugh Caswall Tremenheere Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding, GCB, GCVO, CMG (24 April 1882 – 15 February 1970) was an officer in the Royal Air Force. He was Air Officer Commanding RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain and is generally credited with playing a crucial role in Britain's defence, and hence, the defeat of Adolf Hitler's plan to invade Britain.
St John's red brick church ruin
The church ruin was built in 1632. A rare example, very few churches built with red bricks were constructed during this period.
The church organises tours in the church and surrounding area between 2:30pm and 4:30pm every Saturday afternoon from the beginning of April until the end of September.
