Kings Bromley Parish Council

Invites applications for the role of

Kings Bromley has a long history, from its pre-Norman origins as a residence of the Earls of Mercia, including in the 11th century, Earl Leofric (the husband of the famous Lady Godiva) who died in the village in 1057. The village continued its royal status as a royal manor after the Norman Conquest. The village acquired the “King’s” (Bromley Regis or Kings Bromley) title because it was held by the Crown for nearly two centuries. It later passed to the Corbet family before being sold to the Agard family in 1569, and eventually to the Newton and then the Lane families.
