Summary
Site of a convent school, formerly known as Broadmead, formerly Broadmeadow Cottage. Broadmeadow Cottage, depicted on the Tithe Map and probably of 18th century date, was enlarged in the later 19th century principally by the addition of a wing at its south-western end and became known as Broadmead. The building became a school which finally closed circa 1984. It was demolished in the late 1980s and the site redeveloped for housing.
