Bramhall is a large village in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.[1][2][3] In 2011 it had a population of 17,436.[4][5][6]

History

In 1066 the Anglo-Saxon manor of Bramall was held as separate estates by two freemen, Brun and Hakon.[7][8] In 1070, William the Conqueror subdued the north-west of England, and divided the land among his followers. The manor was given to Hamon de Massey, who eventually became the first Baron of Dunham Massey.[9] The earliest reference to Bramall was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Bramale", a name derived from the Old English words brom meaning broom, both indigenous to the area, and halh meaning nook or secret place, probably by water. De Massey received the manor as wasteland, since it had been devastated in the Harrying of the North. By the time of the Domesday survey, the land was recovering and cultivated again.[10]

Bramhall was formerly a township in the parish of Stockport,[11] in 1866 Bramhall became a separate civil parish. In 1875, Bramhall was one of eight parishes of Cheshire to be included in the Stockport Rural rural sanitary district. The sanitary district became the Stockport Rural District in 1894. The parish was abolished on 30 September 1900 and its former area became part of the Hazel Grove and Bramhall civil parish[12] and urban district. In 1891 the parish had a population of 3365.[13] In 1974, the district was abolished, under the Local Government Act 1972, and transferred to Greater Manchester to be combined with that of other districts to form the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.[14]

Governance

Bramhall is part of the parliamentary constituency of Cheadle, represented by Liberal Democrat Tom Morrison since 2024.

Landmarks

Bramhall War Memorial

Bramall Hall, set in 26 hectares (64 acres) of parkland, is an example of a 14th-century Cheshire building. In 2016 an extensive programme of restoration work was completed. The Ladybrook flows westward through the park, joining the River Mersey at Cheadle.

Bramhall War Memorial is in Mayfield Place. It was unveiled by Sir Henry de Beauvoir De Lisle on 18 December 1921.[15] It commemorates the 90 men of Bramhall who fell in the two world wars.[16][17]

Churches

St Michael and All Angels' Church

The Church of England parish church of St Michael and All Angels[18] in Robins Lane was consecrated in 1911 when Bramhall Parish was created, although the building was not completed until 1963. It replaced an earlier mission church opened in 1890.[19]

Other churches in Bramhall include the Methodist Church near the centre of the village, the United Reformed Church located on Bramhall Lane South, the Baptist Church located on Woodford Road, the Catholic Church of St. Vincent de Paul on Handley Road and Ford's Lane Evangelical Church.

Recreation

Bramhall has a cricket club and there are three lawn tennis clubs (LTC): Bramhall Queensgate LTC, to the north; Bramhall Lane LTC, close to the village; and Bramhall Park LTC, close to the park. There are also two golf clubs in Bramhall, each with 18-hole courses: Bramhall Golf Club and Bramall Park Golf Club. Stockport RUFC in Bramhall has been host to Headlander Festival. There is a recreation centre linked with Bramhall High School with indoor and outdoor facilities.

Transport

Bramhall railway station is on a spur of the West Coast Main Line between Manchester Piccadilly and London Euston, via Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent. Local trains stop every hour Monday-Saturday on their way to/from Manchester Piccadilly and Stoke-on-Trent; there is a much reduced service on Sundays.[20]

Bus services link Bramhall with Manchester (42B), Stockport (378/9), Cheadle Hulme (42B,307/8), Woodford (42B), Parrs Wood (42B) and Hazel Grove (307/8). Routes are predominantly operated by Stagecoach Manchester.[21]

Housing

Bramhall has a high number of Edwardian and some Victorian houses, particularly around the village centre and along the main roads (and side roads) leading towards Bramhall Park, Cheadle Hulme and Woodford. In addition, there are several older listed buildings in the area.[22] These contribute to the historic character of the village. There are also several 1930s-1950s houses in the area. The 1960s and early 1970s saw a growth in Bramhall's housing stock. New developments included the Parkside and New House Farm areas in the north of Bramhall nearer to the park. Closer to the village centre lies the Dairyground estate and the Little Australia estate, so called as many roads are named after locations in Australia. Newer infill housing of a similar period exists in pockets around Bramhall, as well as some more recent additions.

Education

Bramhall has five primary schools: Ladybrook, Moss Hey, Nevill Road, Pownall Green and Queensgate. Bramhall High School is the local secondary school.
