Kings Bromley is a village and civil parish [1] in Staffordshire, England, on the junction of the A515 and the A513 roads. The village lies in Lichfield District, and the council ward of Kings Bromley had a population of 1,651 at the time of the 2001 census. [2] (although this area covers a few other small settlements in addition to the parish of Kings Bromley itself, including the villages of Hamstall Ridware and Elmhurst). The parish was in Offlow Hundred.

Contents

The population as of the 2011 census was measured at 1,163. [3] The Norman village church, which dates back to at least 1170, is named All Saints. The manor was anciently called Brom Legge, and derived its present name from the circumstances of its being the property of the Crown for nearly two centuries after the Norman conquest, previous to which it had been distinguished as the residence of the Earls of Mercia. Leofric, the husband of the famous Lady Godiva, died here in 1057. Henry III granted the manor to the Corbetts, who sold it, in 1569, to Francis Agard, of Ireland. About 1670 it was sold by Charles Agard to John Newton, of the island of Barbados, and in 1794 it was bequeathed by Sarah Newton to her cousins, John and Thomas Lane. South of Kings Bromley at Bromley Hayes is a marina on the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Spelling

The name of the village and parish seems to be spelled with or without the apostrophe fairly indiscriminately.[ citation needed ] Both King's Bromley [1] and Kings Bromley are seen in official documents – the village's own website favours Kings Bromley.[ citation needed ]

[ citation needed ] Home games are played at Crawley Lane opposite Kings Bromley Cricket Club on the show field.[ citation needed ]

Crime

In recent history, Kings Bromley has had a total of three raids in a single year. [4] One of which was on national newspapers, [5] this has led to police investigations in the matter.[ citation needed ] Despite all of this, the crime still continues,[ citation needed ] with the most recent raid on 26 March 2018.[ citation needed ]
