Bradmore – “Broad Lake”

Rushcliffe this week brings us to a delightful little village called Bradmore, nestled in the Nottinghamshire Wolds, on the A60 between Loughborough and Nottingham. With a modest population occupying a collection of four or five main streets, Bradmore is situated close to the larger villages of Keyworth, Ruddington and Gotham. Its name means Broad Lake, stemming from the words “Brad” meaning broad, and “Mere”, meaning lake.

Not many buildings here predate 1705. That was the year when a great fire tore through the village, leaving only a handful of buildings standing. The body of its church was among those destroyed, but its tower and spire survived. Following the fire, Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall designed new buildings for the village, many of which are now listed. These include many houses, farmhouses and farm buildings.

The modern village has no shop, pub, or any kind of amenity, other than the church, a methodist chapel and a bus service. Until quite recently, this was a farming community, but now the conversion of farm buildings to private residences has altered the nature of the village, and its become much more of a commuter settlement. Part of it has been declared a conservation area to retain its visual character.

Let’s go!
