Bradfield, Berkshire
[1] Aside from farms and a smaller amount of woodland its main settlements are Bradfield Southend, its medieval-founded nucleus and the hamlet of Tutts Clump.Bradfield Southend is centred about a mile to the south west on the gentle escarpment between the Pang and the River Kennet.In recent years, the current owners have had to deny access to the site due to fluctuating levels of pollution.[6] In the mid 18th century, the village was the site of two watermills, one fewer than had been recorded in the Doomsday Book 700 years prior.[7][8] In 1835, the Bradfield Poor Law Union was formed, and a workhouse, designed by Sampson Kempthorne, was built to accommodate 250 people.
