The Parish of Great Bromley consists of about 3000 acres of good quality agricultural land interspaced by small areas of woodland. The name 'Bromley' is believed to mean 'Broom clearing' and mention of Great Bromley is made in the Domesday Book of 1086. The parish has had several different spellings and pronunciations since that time and it is likely that the adjacent parishes of Great and Little Bromley were in ancient times part of one larger village of Bromley.
