You can buy some here (not sure exactly what they have):-

www.genealogysupplies.com

I used to use my nearest LDS Family History Centre (addresses are on www.familysearch.org) where you can order filmed copies of parish records for just a couple of pounds and they keep the film for about a month to give you time to view it.

Kent Family History society publishes a CD which includes Bexley. They have an online shop.
It might be worth looking at their site.

Before you start buying CD's which can often prove expensive and disappointing in terms of coverage, have you fully checked out the IGI's free search facilities?

I see that they have various extracted parish records for a number of the areas you are interested in

Oddington
C030881 1750-1812 M030881 1750-1812
C030882 1580-1749 M030882 1580-1749

Stow On The Wold
C031851 1680-1707
C031852 1610-1812

Bexley
C130921 1565-1718 E130921
C130922 1719-1875 M130921 1565-1706
M130922 1723-1876

Hadlow
C131351 1558-1800 M131352 1754-1812
C131352 1801-1836
C131354 1837-1861

Ightham
C131501 1559-1839 E131501
C131502 1839-1875 M131501 1560-1705
1724-1812
M131502 1813-1876
M131503 1888-1895

You might also check the Free Reg site (Part of Free BMD) although coverage is by no means complete as yet.

Local FH Societies are always worth checking as they sometimes have information transcribed by their members.
