 | | The manor belonged in the 13th century to the Earls of Warwick: towards the end of that century it came into the possession of the Bradenhams, (who took their name from the village,) and was afterwards successively in the families of Falwesley, Wiltshire, Botiler and Scot. |
 | | After this, Bradenham was for many years a seat of the noble family of Windsor, having been purchased in 1500 by Sir Andrews Windsor, who was, in 1529, created Lord Windsor of Bradenham. |
 | | In 1566 Queen Elizabeth, being on her return from the university of Oxford, was most sumptuously entertained at Bradenham, by Edward, Lord Windsor, whose kinsman, Miles Windsor, spoke an oration on the occasion, which was highly commended by her majesty. |
