context_page_description: Broomhall is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. The main line of the Shropshire Union Canal runs through the parish and the River Weaver forms part of its boundary. The main settlement is the hamlet of Broomhall Green, which lies on the A530 about 3.5 miles south-west of Nantwich. The civil parish has an area of 539 hectares, and also includes part of the small settlement of Sandford, with a total population of around 200 in 2011. Nearby villages include Aston, Sound, Wrenbury and Audlem. Broomhall appears in the Domesday survey and the name was also historically spelled Bromhall.
context_section_description: Several buildings within the parish are listed at grade II, the lowest of the three grades. The oldest listed building is Top of the Town, off Heatley Lane, a farmhouse dating originally from the early 17th century. It has projecting end bays and a tiled roof, and is part roughcast over brick and part timber framed, featuring some close studding with a middle rail. Two farmhouses on Heatley Lane are listed: Heatley is an L-shaped, red-brick building with a slate roof, dating from around 1750, and The Coronerage is a roughcast brick building with a tiled roof, dating originally from the early 19th century. Each has a front porch with decorative barge boards, topped with a finial. Mickley Bridge is a blue-brick-and-stone accommodation bridge over the Shropshire Union Canal, dating from around 1826, and a nearby cast-iron canal milepost is also listed.
