Brampton Abbotts is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. It is located 2 km north of Ross-on-Wye and 16 km south east of Hereford. The village lies near the western terminus of M50 motorway.[2]
The parish had a population of 322 in the 2001 UK Census[1] and is grouped with Foy to form Brampton Abbots & Foy Group Parish Council for administrative purposes.[3]
The parish church, dedicated to St Michael, is Norman. The font has an octagonal bowl with quatrefoiled panels.[4]
The place name Brampton means 'Broom settlement'. Abbotts is a reference to the abbot of St Peter's Abbey, Gloucester which held it in the late 11th century at the time of the Domesday survey.[5]
In the south of the parish, at the boundary with Weston under Penyard and Ross Rural parishes, is the hamlet of Rudhall. Rudhall House is a Grade I listed 14th century manor house. The core of the original building is timber framed on a sandstone plinth. The house was extended in the 16th and 17th centuries and restored in the 19th century but the interior retains many period features.[4][6]
