The medieval hamlet of Bradstone is full of history. It probably predated its Saxon (Old English) name which it takes from the ‘bradanstane’ .. broad stone… Bradstone.. which still lies in the hamlet and which is considered to be an ancient standing stone or menhir. Ordgar, a Saxon nobleman, first used the name in 971 when, lying sick here he frees 10 slaves.
