Bromfield moated grange is a medieval monastic agricultural establishment located in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure that served the Benedictine priory at Bromfield, functioning as a specialist farming unit or grange for the religious community from at least the medieval period. The moat, which remains a prominent topographical feature, enclosed the working buildings necessary for managing the priory's agricultural interests. Such moated granges were characteristic of monastic estate organisation in medieval England, enabling centralised management of demesne lands and resources away from the principal monastic settlement.
