Brewood is pronounced 'Brood', and getting this right first time round will instantly endear you to the locals. The name Breude in the Domesday Book (1086) is from Celtic bre, or hill, and the Old English wuda, meaning wood.
Roman Roads: It was during the Roman occupation of Britain that the line to the north of Brewood was established as a main transport route when Watling Street was built, from London all the way to present-day Wroxeter, just west of Shrewsbury. It was one of dozens of major roads built by the Romans across Britain, the longest of which were the Fosse Way (from Exeter to Lincoln), Ermine Street (from London to York) and Watling Street itself, built in the first years of the invasion (AD 100), and later extended to Chester.
