Named after the former country house Bridgen Place, which was built in the 1770s by William Cope and later became the seat of the Reverend Edward Cokayne Frith, a magistrate for the county of Kent. It later became the home of Thomas Samuel Rawson, and the Arbuthnot family who had strong links to India.
