By 1167 it was a separate manor and passed through many families and was inherited by Sir Bernard Brocas in 1395. Although Sir Bernard was executed at Tyburn for treason at the accession of Henry IV the land was not forfeited and remained in the Brocas family until 1621, when it was leased to Thomas Taylor for 200 years. In 1629 the manor was taken into the hands of the king for a debt of £1,001 and leased by him to Sir Kenelm Digby and Sir John Savage. At one time, Bradley came under the large parish of Bentworth until its decline in the mid-19th century. Although today, Bradley's parish borders the parish of Bentworth.〔Bentworth#Parish decline Bentworth Parish Decline〕 The genealogy linking the ancestor of the American Ogden family of New Jersey with "Bradley Plain", Hampshire,〔The Ogden family in America, Elizabethtown branch, and their English ancestry; John Ogden, the Pilgrim, and his descendants, 1640-1906〕 appears to be a fiction devised by the genealogist who called himself Gustav d'Anjou.〔Jack Harpster, John Ogden, The Pilgrim, 1609-1682: A Man of More Than Ordinary Mark〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bradley, Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
