History
The village was originally in the parish of Hallow, until Christchurch church was consecrated in 1904. There was a chapel of ease or secondary Anglican church dating from 1836, and an independent chapel belonging to Lady Huntingdon's connection, dating from 1825. The church bell is thought to be 500 years old.
Broadheath is the birthplace of the English composer Edward Elgar. The cottage in which he was born is now the Elgar Birthplace Museum.
