History

Historically, Bramshill was an estate owned by the Lord of the Manor, residing at Bramshill House. The last incumbent was Lord Brocket, who sold the estate in 1952.[2] Until the sale of the estate, residents of Bramshill rented their houses very cheaply, the landlord being responsible for all repairs.
