[edit] Manor
The earliest known record of Ladbroke is from AD 998, when King Æthelred II granted lands at Southam, Ladbroke and Radbourne to Leofwine, Ealdorman of the Hwicce.[2]
Most of the common lands of Ladbroke parish had been enclosed by the end of the 16th century.[2]
Ladbroke Hall is a country house of seven bays and two storeys built late in the 17th century.[3] In the 20th century Sir Nikolaus Pevsner called it "a standard house, but a very pleasing one".[3]
[edit] Parish church
The Church of England parish church of All Saints was built in the 13th century and completely rebuilt with the addition of Decorated Gothic[4] three-bay north and south aisles and the west tower in the 14th century.[2] Late in the 15th century the heights of the nave and chancel were raised and a Perpendicular Gothic[4] clerestory added.[2]
In 1876 All Saints' was re-roofed and restored under the direction of Sir George Gilbert Scott.[2] The bell tower has a ring of five bells, all cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough in 1873.[2][5]
