The village is located to the east of Richmond, attractively placed, as the name implies, along the northern bank of the River Swale, reputedly the fastest flowing river in the country. The village is named in the 'Domesday Book' and the name is believed to be derived from 'broom' (the Shrub) and 'tun' an old English word for farmstead or village.
