History[edit]

Broadheath is the birthplace of the English composer Edward Elgar.[2] The cottage in which he was born is now the Elgar Birthplace Museum.[3] The village was originally in the parish of Hallow until Christchurch church was consecrated in 1904. The church bell is thought to be 500 years old.
