Addington Palace was built in the 1770s as Addington Place, replacing the earlier manor house of the same name, home of the Leigh family. In 1807 an Act of Parliament purchased the mansion and estate for the use of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Six archbishops lived at Addington Palace, five of them being buried in St Mary's churchyard, Addington. It has been a golf club since about 1930.
