Bradwell is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is immediately to the west of, and largely indistinguishable from, the built-up urban area of the town of Great Yarmouth. [1]
Bradwell's name derives from the Anglo-Saxon words for a broad stream. [1]
Bradwell's Church of St. Nicholas is one of the 185 surviving English Round-tower churches, built before the Norman Conquest.
Bradwell is not featured in the Domesday Book. [2]
The civil parish has an area of 9.74 km2 and in the 2001 census had a population of 10,318 in 4,347 households. The population taken at the 2011 Census was 10,528. [3]
Bradwell's' schools include: Hillside Primary School, Homefield Church of England Primary and Nursery School, Lynn Grove High, and Woodlands Primary and Nursery School.
