Brimble Hill Clump

Brimble Hill Clump

Looking SE in Bradley Park, near Bradley House. Part of a permissory path system called Duke's Walk Link

which now appears to have been decommissioned.

'Brimble Hill was called Bremelhil brech in 1407 and the meaning seems to be Bramble Hill.' Link

The clump has two rough grave marker stones Link

where Algernon Seymour, 15th Duke of Somerset and his wife Susan were buried.

'He died s.p. 22 October 1923 at Maiden Bradley and was buried there 25 October at Brimble Hill Clump aged 77. Will proved £684,923 gross, £289,960 net. His widow, who was a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, died 30 January 1936 and was buried 4 February at Brimble Hill.' Link
