Ladbroke Church and Domesday Plaque
Ladbroke Church and Domesday Plaque
The green plaque by the lych gate to All Saints' Church was placed here to celebrate 900 years since the Domesday book recorded the existence of 'Lodbroc', named after the Lot Brook. The population then was 252, remarkably similar to the 2011 census figure of 268. In the background is All Saints' Church which was extensively rebuilt in the 14th century. A more modern claim to fame is the connection the village has to the Ladbroke betting shops company (now Ladbrokes Coral) which was founded by a former groom at Ladbroke House.
