This one and a half metre deep pond was dug in 1836 and lies at one side of a small village green. Centred on Bradmore Green and Grange Park, the Bradmore Green Conservation area was created in 1968 because of its considerable architectural and historical interest. Various buildings and trees in the area are protected, including the Parish Church of St. John the Evangelist and The Barn.

Description
Wildlife
Emergent plants are largely restricted to the centre of the pond. They include branched bur-reed, yellow iris and galingale, with the latter almost certainly being introduced. Submerged plant life includes Nuttall's waterweed and common water-starwort. A small amount of New Zealand pigmyweed is also present. Fringed water-lily is common alongside other waterlilies, and common and ivy-leaved duckweeds both occur on the water's surface. Several species of water-snail are present and sticklebacks can also be seen.Facilities
