BRADWELL is a parish and village, in the hundred and incorporation of
Mutford and Lothingland, Great Yarmouth county court district, rural deanery of
LothingJand, Suffolk archdeaconry, and Norwich diocese, East
Suffolk, seated on a height, 3 miles south-south-west from Yarmouth, and 8 from
Lowestoft. The church of St. Nicholas is a neat building, with low round tower,
containing 3 bells: it consists of nave, chancel, and a porch on the south side,
and contains a very handsome font: the church has undergone considerable
repairs, and, through the munificence of the late rector, a fine eastern window
has been added. The register dates from 1610. The living is a rectory; the
tithes have been commuted at £632 per annum, with residence and 11 acres of
glebe land, in the gift of John Walker, Esq., and held by the Rev. John Walker,
M.A., of St. John's College, Cambridge. A National school was built here in
1851. Population, 387; acres, 2,383, nearly one-fourth of which are marsh lands,
near the river Yare.
