Genealogies of the Broughs of Nottinghamshire, England, and Their Descendants

     Not far from Newark Upon Trent is the small village of "Brough" (shown within the red box on the map below), site of an ancient Roman fort or fortification--after which it was named (as the word "Brough" is an ancient English place-name meaning "camp, fortification, or manorhouse"). In April 2010, Philip and Bebe Brough of Staffordshire traveled to Brough, Nottinghamshire, and took the following photographs of the village and its chapel.
