abbots bromley

Abbots Bromley is a village in Staffordshire, England. It is famous for the annual Abbots Bromley Horn Dance.

History

The first historical record of the village dates from 942, when the manor of "Bromleige" was given to Wulfsige the Black. The will, dated 1002, of Wulfric Spot, Earl of Mercia, gave the village to the Abbey of Burton. In 1227, a weekly market was confirmed by Royal Charter at the site of the Butter Cross, which survives to the present. The village remained affiliated to the Abbey till the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1545. Henry VIII gave Bromley Abbatis to Sir William Paget, Clerk of the Signet and Privy Councillor. The village was known as Paget's Bromley for several centuries, but eventually the influence of the Paget family declined, and the name reverted to Abbots Bromley.
