Background
History
The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded a manor at Madmintune with 24 households. In 1612 Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester, bought from Nicholas Boteler his manors of Great and Little Badminton. One century earlier the name Badimyncgtun was recorded, held by that family since 1275.
