Hen Street Bradninch
Bradninch, meaning broad or spreading ash, was originally a Celtic settlement dependent on the fresh spring water flowing near Hen Street. Today the spring flows down the side of the street under the green grass next to the parked cars. The word Hen here does not mean a chicken but is Celtic for "old".

Cullompton Hill, milestone and bus shelter
The milestone records that Exeter is 10 miles distant. Formerly, Bradninch was on the main road from Taunton to Exeter, but for the last two centuries, the village has been bypassed. A correspondent, Jon Kington wrote:
"I was born in the white house on the right and spent my early childhood there. Originally it was a pub called the Bradninch Arms and there was a range of buildings, including a ballroom and skittle alley, surrounding a cobbled yard behind the wall at the end, they were built of cob (as is the house) and they all suddenly collapsed in a storm one night. Opposite, where the bungalows are, was waste land."
