      "Mr. Griffin was operating a dairy farm on the grounds of the old Broadmead or Bredmar Manor which dated back to the Norman Conquest and was owned by Lord Radnor. ...Broadmead Manor and dairy farm was "about one mile from Folkestone on the road to the Cherry Gardens." [Mackie, Samuel Jopseh, A Handbook for Folkestone Visitors. Folkestone: J. English, 1856. page 98]
      *Broadmead Manor was first known as Bredmer Manor. Its name probably originated with the family that built it during the reign of King Edward II (Plantagenet king who reigned from 1307-1327). The manor remained with descendants of the family through several generations until it was "conveyed" to William Bouverie, Earl of Radnor. [Hasted, Edward. The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent. Canterbury: W. Bristow, 1797-1801, p. 166]

      BREDMER, usually called Broadmead, is another manor, near the western bounds of this parish, adjoining to Cheriton, in which it is partly situated. It was most probably, in early times, in the possession of a family of its own name; for in the antient deeds and courtrolls of Valoigns, who were owners of Cheriton in king Edward II. and III.'s reign, there is frequent mention of several of this name, who held lands of the Valoigns family; but before the latter end of king Edward III.'s reign, it was come into the possession of William de Brockhull, of Saltwood, whose second son Thomas Brockhull leaving an only daughter and heir Elizabeth, she carried it in marriage to Richard Selling, in whose descendants it remained till Henry VIII.'s reign, when it was passed away to Edmund Inmith, a retainer to Thomas, lord Clinton, and he gave it to his second son Edmund Inmith, who leaving two daughters and coheirs, one of whom married Rayner, and the other Baker, the latter of them, in right of his wife, shared this manor as part of her inheritance, and in king James I.'s reign alienated it to Beane, in which name it continued some length of time, and till it was sold to Worger, and thence again to Bayley, in which name it remained till Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey and other conveyed it to William Bouverie, earl of Radnor, whose son the right hon. Jacob, earl of Radnor, is the present owner of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
