'''Bradnop''' is a village in Staffordshire, England, located just a few miles to the southeast of the market town of Leek. The name Bradnop was first recorded in 1197, and gets its name from the Old English words "bradan", meaning broad, and "hop", meaning enclosed valley. Historically Bradnop was a township of the parish of Leek, and later became a civil parish in its own right, with an area 3,568 acres (1,444 hectares).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22912|title=A History of the County of Stafford: Volume 7: Leek and the Moorlands |publisher=accessed via British History Online|year=1996|pages=169–175|accessdate=11 November 2014}}</ref>
