In 1926 (1st March) Bradwell Croft was acquired by Samuel Cobbold. He already owned adjacent farmland.having bought Grange Farm in 1921.
At the time of writing the link between Bradwell Croft and Bradwell Hall is not known. However on Aug 23rd 1817, Sarah Roper the only daughter of the late Mr J.Roper, farmer of Stowupland, married S.Lazell of Bradwell Hall.
