Brompton-on-Swale, with a population of 1,900 (as of 2021 census), is located to the east of Richmond, attractively placed, as the name implies, along the northern bank of the River Swale, reputedly the fastest flowing river in the country!
The village is named in the ‘Domesday Book’ and the name is believed to be derived from Old English words brōm (for the shrub Broom) and tūn (meaning farmstead or village).
The old Village is medieval, a wide street with rows of houses either side, originally of timber and thatch, but from the 17th Century constructed of stone and river cobbles.
Throughout the year, the Village Society, along with volunteers from the Brompton-on-Swale community. organise various events such as coffee mornings, Summer Fate and Sports Day, and various notable national celebrations.
At our community sports hall, the following activities can be facilitated:Badminton, Basketball, Carpet Bowls, Football, Line Dancing, Netball, Richmond Triathlon and Wrestling, so be sure to keep an eye on the upcoming events!
