Broadfield
was mentioned in the Doomsday Book, and was claimed
by Henry III in 1266. When Henry died the land reverted
to the de Broadfields. By the end of the 14th century
the land became the property of Dinmore Preceptory of
the Knights of the Hospitallers of the Order of St John
of Jerusalem, the commandery of which is at Dinmore
Manor.
The Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII saw
the property changing hands again, and since the 16th
century the subsequent occupants have altered the property.
Vines used at Broadfield include Müeller-Thurgau, Richensteiner,
Huxelrebe and Seyve Villard. Bodenham House wine is
made from Madeline Angevine at Bagborough Vineyard in
Somerset.
