Bramhall is a large village in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It was formerly a civil parish in Cheshire. At the 2021 census, the built-up area, as defined by the Office for National Statistics, had a population of 17,195.
==History== In 1066, the Anglo-Saxon manor of Bramall was held as separate estates by two freemen, Brun and Hakon. In 1070, William the Conqueror subdued the north-west of England and divided the land among his followers. The manor was given to Hamon de Massey, who eventually became the first Baron of Dunham Massey. The earliest reference to Bramall was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Bramale", a name derived from the Old English words brom meaning broom, both indigenous to the area, and halh meaning nook or secret place, probably by water. De Massey received the manor as wasteland, since it had been devastated in the Harrying of the North. By the time of the Domesday survey, the land was recovering and cultivated again.
