Bratch
The Bratch is an area of Wombourne in South Staffordshire, England, noted for its industrial heritage and more recently as a way station for walkers, riders and cyclists. Formerly, it was a small, separate hamlet, and became fully absorbed into Wombourne only in the 20th century.〔See the 1899-1904 series OS maps at (Staffordshire Past Track )〕 ==Etymology== The name is derived from the Anglian dialect of Old English, in which the word ''brēc'' signifies newly-broken-in land.〔Margaret Gelling, Place-names in the Landscape, Dent, London, 1984, ISBN 0-460-86086-0, p.233〕 There are a number of Bratches in Staffordshire, e.g. near Enville and Norton Canes. In each case, they are near the edges of ancient forests, so a bratch was a new clearing in the waste.〔W. H. Duignan, Notes on Staffordshire Place Names, Henry Frowde, London, 1902.〕
