**Bromsberrow** (or **Bromesberrow**) is village and [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) in the [Forest of Dean](/source/Forest_of_Dean_District) district. The village is close to the meeting point between [Gloucestershire](/source/Gloucestershire), [Herefordshire](/source/Herefordshire), and [Worcestershire](/source/Worcestershire). The nearest town is [Ledbury](/source/Ledbury), about four miles north in Herefordshire. In 2011 the parish had a population of 407.

A resident of the village named Emily Bishop (c1879-1961) was recorded extensively singing traditional folk songs by the folklorist [Peter Kennedy](/source/Peter_Kennedy_(folklorist)) in 1952.[2]

The village was briefly home to [Richard Hammond](/source/Richard_Hammond), the former [Top Gear](/source/Top_Gear_(current_format)) presenter, who resided on a farm next to St. Mary's Church.[3]

## Identify as Bremesbyrig

[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle](/source/Anglo-Saxon_Chronicle) states that in 910 [Aethelflaed](/source/Aethelflaed) constructed a stronghold at "Bremesbyrig"; the location is suspected either being Bromsberry or [Bromsgrove](/source/Bromsgrove).[4][5]
