<p><b>Broadway</b> is a large <a href="/pages/w/105862522780555">village</a> and <a href="/pages/w/135177469850470">civil parish</a> in the <a href="/pages/w/103120869728632">Worcestershire</a> part of the <a href="/pages/w/105621039470873">Cotswolds</a> in England. Often referred to as the "Jewel of the Cotswolds", Broadway village lies beneath Fish Hill on the western Cotswold <a href="/pages/w/107675569254872">escarpment</a>. The "broad way" is the wide grass-fringed main street, centred on The Green, which is lined with red <a href="/pages/w/112682932079602">chestnut</a> trees and honey-coloured <a href="/pages/w/115889288458674">Cotswold limestone</a> buildings, many dating from the 16th century.</p><p>Its population was 2,540 in the 2011 census, a small increase on the 2,496 in the 2001 census. It is situated in the far southeast of Worcestershire and very close to the <a href="/pages/w/113627918647555">Gloucestershire</a> border, midway between the towns of <a href="/pages/w/112566415422133">Evesham</a> and <a href="/pages/w/109337442425026">Moreton-in-Marsh</a>.</p><h2>History</h2><p>Broadway is an ancient settlement whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Through the centuries, it has seen the settlement of first the ancient <a href="/pages/w/106929952679335">Beaker</a> people (1900 BCE) within its boundaries. In 2004, Worcestershire Young Archaeologists' Club, a regional branch of the <a href="/pages/w/112617072088171">Council for British Archaeology</a>'s Young Archaeologists' Club, found evidence of early occupation. Their fieldwork uncovered a large amount of <a href="/pages/w/106685289361702">Roman</a> and <a href="/pages/w/109562339063423">medieval</a> domestic waste and, most importantly, a large amount of worked <a href="/pages/w/109006799117664">Mesolithic</a> flints. This work puts the history of the village back 5,000 years and may be evidence of one of the first partially settled sites in the United Kingdom. It is believed that this would have been a stopping point for <a href="/pages/w/112475758772232">hunter-gatherers</a>.</p>
