Bredon history

---

Bredon has its roots in the Anglo-Saxon period (c.500–1066), when King of Mercia gave land to found a monastery. The name evolved during the Saxon period, deriving from bree (Celtic for hill) and don (Old English for hill). From the Norman Conquest (1066) to the end of the Late Medieval Period, the parish was governed under the feudal system. The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, one of the world’s oldest main line railways, was constructed during the 1830s and 1840s through the village. In the 1960s, a housing estate of some 600 dwellings was developed on land formerly belonging to Mitton Manor.
