Broome Park

Broome Park is a country house in Barham, within the City of Canterbury, Kent, England.

In the early 20th century it was the country home of Lord Kitchener of Khartoum until his death at sea in 1916.

[8] Because of the extensive work being carried out on the property and Kitchener's professional commitments as Sirdar in Egypt and subsequently Secretary of War in London, he only lived in Broome Park for brief periods: notably for six weeks while on home leave immediately prior to the outbreak of the First World War.

[4] During the Second World War the estate was requisitioned by the Ministry of Defence, serving as a base for a Canadian armoured regiment at one stage.

[4] In or before 1979 the Park was acquired by Gulf Shipping, for the purposes of developing a timeshare and leisure complex.
