The manor of Bowdrip near Bridgewater is said to have been given to this family by Henry II. As if this were not sufficient to account for the name, there is a ridiculous tradition that the first person who bore it was "sauce-bearer" to that monarch, and that from his undue fondness for the contents of the sauce-bowls, the king gave him the sobriquet of "Bag-o'-drip," since refined to Broderip.
