Bramshall is a village and former civil parish, in the East Staffordshire district, Staffordshire, England; it is now in the parish of Uttoxeter Rural. It lies to the west of Uttoxeter, with a new housing estate to the north of it.
History
It was sometimes known as Broomshull or Bromshall; in the Domesday Book, it was referenced as Branselle,[1] with an area to the south called Little Bromshall.[2] It was a possession of the families of Stafford, Bagot and Erdeswyk.[3][4][5][6] The sister and heiress of Robert III de Stafford (d.1193/4), of Stafford Castle was Millicent de Stafford, wife of Harvey I Bagot (d.1214). Whilst her elder son was the ancestor of the Earls of Stafford and the Dukes of Buckingham, her younger son was William Stafford of "Broomshull", ancestor of several other prominent Stafford lines, most notably Stafford of Hooke, Stafford of Southwick and Stafford of Grafton.
Although Bramshall is relatively old, much of it dates from the late 1990s when several new housing estates were built.
There was a military explosives storage area to the West of Bramshall, with 11 sheds approximately 75 feet by 200 feet, served by rail. It was used to store US explosives and was closed before 1971.
