Gedney Broadgate is a hamlet in the parish of Gedney, in Holland, the south-eastern part of Lincolnshire. It is to be found close by the A17 road, a mile south of Gedney itself, and a mile and a half west from Long Sutton. It includes the area known as Harford Gate.
Gedney Bargate was established after the Norman Conquest of 1066.[1] At Gedney Bargate was the start point of the earliest mediæval post-Conquest fen dyke (sea defence bank): it is mentioned in a 1226-27 charter.[2]
By 1839 there existed a Baptist chapel in the hamlet,[3] which closed in 1986.[4] Pevsner mentions the 1839 chapel and the existence of "a couple of 18th-century cottages, one still thatched," and Broadgate House, dated 1824.[5] The thatched cottage, at Harford Gate, is a mid-18th-century rendered red-brick Grade II listed building.[6] A further Grade II listed building is the mid-18th-century red-brick Pulvertoft Hall at Harford Gate.[7]
