Who we are

WE ARE A LANDED ESTATES BUSINESS, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP OF FARMING, FORESTRY AND PROPERTY ON THE SHROPSHIRE AND STAFFORDSHIRE BORDERS.

Over 900 years after the family’s first land grants in the area, Bradford Estates now takes responsibility for approximately 12,000 acres on the Shropshire and Staffordshire borders. We continuously invest in our land and property with the future in mind. Guided by our heritage, knowledge and a commitment to doing things the right way, we develop sustainable practices across farming, forestry and placemaking.

 

GUIDED
BY
HERITAGE

The Bradford family has a long tradition of placemaking and landscape management. Stewardship of their former urban estates led to the paving and lighting of Bolton and new public parks in Walsall and Greater Birmingham. The creation of green spaces included the 18th Century commission of Capability Brown at Weston Park and creation of 19th Century pleasure grounds, such as the White Sitch.

PROUD CUSTODIANS

Our charity work

Bradford Estates have always made sure that the people that live and work on their estates are looked after. Through various trusts, the family have invested in the well-being of their community, by assisting a wide range of initiatives including: maintaining the local churches to supporting medical research charities and providing housing for the vulnerable.
