Background
History
The name Broughton derives from the Old English brōctūn meaning 'settlement by the brook'. The affix Hackett derives from the Hackett family who held land here from the latter half of the 12th century. The lands came under Pershore Abbey and then under the manor of Hampton Lovett. The village church of St. Leonard is thought to date back to the 14th century. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book as having 2 cottagers, 2 farmers and 2 slaves.
