Upper Broughton or Broughton-Sulney or Over-Broughton[1] is a village and civil parish about seven miles north west of Melton Mowbray,[2] in the Rushcliffe district of the county of Nottinghamshire, England. In 2011 the built-up area had a population of 327,[3] the same as the parish.[4] The parish count increased to 346 at the 2021 census.[5] The parish touches Wymeswold, Hickling, Widmerpool, Broughton and Old Dalby and Willoughby on the Wolds.[6] Upper Broughton is a conservation area that was designated in 1973 and is 16 hectares.[7] The settlement is near the boundary with Leicestershire,[8] and Nether Broughton is across the county boundary.

Features

There are 16 listed buildings in Upper Broughton,[9] of which St Luke's Church is Grade I listed.[10]

Upper Broughton has a village hall, on Melton Road (A606) near the junction with Bottom Green.[11]

For many years there was a pub on Main Street, originally called the Golden Fleece and latterly the Tap and Run co-owned by Stuart Broad and Harry Gurney, but this was badly damaged by fire in June 2022.[12][13]

Upper Broughton railway station opened in 1880 and closed in 1948.[14]

History

The name "Broughton" means 'Farm by the brook'.[15] Upper Broughton was recorded in the Domesday Book as Brotone.[16] On the 1st of April 1965 an area of Broughton and Old Dalby parish was transferred to the parish. The transferred area was 21 acres.[17] The parish was part of the Bingham Wapentake.[18] "Broughton Sulney" is another name for the parish.[19]
