In the Domesday Book Bromham is given as Brime or Bruneham. One of Bromham’s major features is a long narrow stone bridge which is mediaeval in origin though it was extensively altered in 1813 and again in 1902. The bridge used to carry the main A428 but the village now has a bypass.

At the west end of the bridge is Bromham Mill and Gallery. This seventeenth century watermill has been restored to working order by Bedfordshire County Council. A mill has stood on the site since the times of the Domesday Book

St. Owen

Not a great deal to say about this one just that hauntings don’t always have to be bad. At St. Owen the happy ghosts of children are sometimes heard in the churchyard.

The church has two different hauntings with the second one being due to Sir Lewis Dyve. It is said that Sir Lewis’ ghost walks up the church aisle to check that his boots and sword are still hanging on the church wall.
