Bricklehampton is a village and civil parish in Worcestershire, England. In the 2021 census the population of the parish was recorded as 236.[1] Its area is 369.7 hectares (1.427 sq mi).[2] The village shares a parish council with Elmley Castle and Netherton.[3][4]
History
The name at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 was Bricstelmenstune.[5]
Bricklehampton's parish church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels,[6] is a grade II listed building. The medieval church was rebuilt and restored in 1875-1877 but the 12th-century font and south doorway remain.[7][8] As of November 2020[update] there are 12 listed buildings in the parish, all at grade II, including the 1848 mansion Bricklehampton Hall,[9] now a nursing home,[10] and a K6 telephone box.[11]
Longest one word place name in English
According to linguist David Crystal, the 14-letter town name is perhaps the longest one-word place name in the English-speaking world that does not repeat any letter.[12] Two places named Buslingthorpe (one in Leeds and in one in Lincolnshire)[13] and Buckfastleigh in Devon had previously been thought to share this honour, with 13 unique letters.
