Excerpt from Register of English Monumental Inscriptions

Bradenham - bright, breezy and broad - appears to have suffered, mayhap enjoyed, a historical hiatus in the pages of its past for some 250 years. After the brief record of the tenure thereof of the Saxons Suarting and Herding, under King William, it does not again emerge into the light until 1230 as the property of the Countess of Warwick by socage tenure. It is the confident and hitherto uncontested opinion, both of careful Thomas Langley and the industrious George Lipscomb, that it was the preserve - not the only one by any means - peculiar and persistent, alternately of Crown and Monastery, during the lacuna. But from 1230 Bradenham's chronicle is continuous and complete. Through its fields flit in rapid flight the Warwicks, the Plessitis, the Falwesleys 1332 (three in a century), the Wiltshires, 1368, Boliter, 1426, and John Scot until Sir Andrew Wyndsor, of Battle of the Spurs fame, created Baron Wyndsor of Bradenham 1529, bought it in 1500 and settled down there. His son, William, second Lord Windsor built the Manor House and laid out the churchyard wherein, we read he was "buried with great pomp" Aug. 1558. Here his grandson, Edward, third Baron, entertained the Virgin Queen 1560 and dying abroad (Spa), 24 June 1574, directed his heart to be sent home in lead to Bradenham. To the Windsors succeed circa 1660 Sir Edmond Pye and the Wentworths, from whom John Hicks of Plomer's Hill near Bath, the great great grandfather of the present owner, purchased it in 1787. Of all these however, none perhaps, exerted more potent influence in the Councils of the country than one whom Bradenham rejoices to count among its celebrities and who during his father's tenancy of the Manor House spent his early years here - Benjamin D'Israeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. Students of history and lovers of the past will join with the present Rector's lament over the disappearance of most men als formerly in the church - a disappearance not wholly attributable to "ruthless restoration" vide Langley's comments upon the removal of some of them whilst his History of Desborough was in the press, 1797. But "autres temps, autre, mœurs." Both church and churchyard now bear abundant evidence of reverent care.
