Bredicot is a small village and civil parish in Worcestershire, England, about 4miles east of Worcester.
It was formerly (as described in 1868) in the hundred of Oswaldslow.[1] In the 11th century the name was Bradingecotan or Bradigcotan.[2]
The Church of St James the Less is a Grade II listed building. It is 41feet by 15feet with a bellcote and a timber-framed south porch. The building dates from about 1300, and was restored by A. E. Perkins in 1843.[2]
The earliest mention of the manor of Bredicot is in 985, by which time it had been acquired by the church of Worcester, when Bishop Oswald granted the vill to a priest named Goding.[2]
Bredicot Court Farmhouse, Grade II-listed, was built in the early 17th century. It has an H-shaped plan, and is timber-framed with brick infilling; there is an 18th-century brick wing. Also in the village are Court Cottages, timber-framed buildings of the 16th or 17th century, Grade II-listed.[2]
