Historical information:

This was plain Hentone in the Domesday Book. The spelling Brodehenton first appears in 1319. This Saxon name means the large heahtun (high settlement). Nearby Bincknoll Castle derives from the Saxon words beona (bees) cnoll (small hill). The word 'Castle' probably refers to an earth and wood motte and bailey castle built here after the Norman Conquest
