Ladbrooke is an historic estate in the parish of Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire, England. The early history until the late 14th century is sparse and inextricably confused with the manor and parish of Ladbroke near Southam in Warwickshire, 34 km to the south-east. The confusion arises not only because both places within the same county are spelled variously and identically in historic documents, but mainly because the mediaeval de Lodbroke family appear to have held estates in each place. The 1619 Heraldic Visitation of Warwickshire which gives the pedigree of the "de Lodbroke" family, states them as "Dominus de Lodbrooke" and makes no mention of Tanworth-in-Arden. The Victoria County History is however clear that the seat of the de Lodbroke family was Ladbroke near Southam and not Ladbrooke in the parish of Tanworth-in-Arden.
