History
The short-lived community at Brockley was founded by Juliana de Vere, countess of Norfolk ca. 1182. The brothers soon transferred to Bayham.
Brockley remained in the possession of Bayham as a monastic grange until 1526. No visible trace of the site remains; it was perhaps located near to the current church of St Peter's, Brockley.
