History
Bradley was mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 as belonging to Henry de Ferrers,[2] having previously been in the possession of "Aelfric of Bradbourne" and "Leofwin".[3][4] The village is assessed as being worth twenty shillings (a fall, having been valued as worth £2 in 1066), and having a taxable value of 1 geld unit.[3][4] The village is recorded as having 17 households, 6 of which were smallholdings.[3]
In 1891 Kelly described the village as "an agricultural parish and picturesque but scattered village" of 2,374 acres.[5] The soil is described as "chiefly gravel and clay", with the main crops grown being hay, wheat, barley, oats and turnips.[5] The population is recorded as 227 and the rateable value of the village given as £2,945.[5]
Village landmarks
All Saints' Church
The village's parish church is dedicated to All Saints.[6] Primarily constructed in the late 14th century, but incorporating some earlier work, it has an unusual layout with an aisleless nave and chancel, and no tower.[6][7] In 1891 the church was described as "an edifice in the Decorated style of the early 14th century, consists of a small chancel and nave under a single roof, south porch and a wooden turret at the west end containing 3 bells, two of which date from 1722, the tenor being undated".[5]
The 18th century wooden bell-turret has been removed and one of the bells is attached to the rear wall. The church was substantially renovated in the 19th century.[7] The church contains several graves and monuments belonging to members of the Kniveton, Byrom and Meynell families, who had formerly resided at Bradley Hall opposite the church.[5][6]
Bradley Hall
The original Bradley Hall was sold by Sir Andrew Kniverton who was bankrupted by the English Civil War.[6] The Old Bradley Hall was demolished by Hugo Meynell in the late 18th century, who built the Hall we currently see.[6] What is known as "Bradley Hall" today was originally built to be part of a stable-block for a new Hall which was never built.[8][9] The stable block was later converted to serve as the residence.[8][9] Additions were made to the Hall in both the 19th and 20th centuries; it is currently protected as Grade II Listed.[8] The hall was recently listed up for sale with a guide price of £2,900,000.[10]
Hole-in-the-Wall
Hole-in-the-Wall is a pair of brick tenements dated 1750–51, with a central road arch, on the outskirts of the main village. It was formally the entrance gate to the park.[6][11]
Primary school
The Church of England primary school was founded in 1873.[6]
