History

The estate has been owned by four families since the 17th century.

Colonel Yate who built Bromesberrow Place was a Royalist during the Civil War. His family had been local landowners since the Middle Ages. The Yates were followed by the Ricardo’s.

David Ricardo was the celebrated economist who gave Bromesberrow place to his son Osman in 1818. The Albrights, chemical engineers and owners of Albright and Wilson in Birmingham bought the estate in 1929.

It was sold to the present owner Gilbert Greenall in 1991.
