Whilst down the years the East Staffordshire district prize has been awarded to Abbots Bromley on a number of occasions the overall county title continues to elude.

[4] Through the competition Abbots Bromley maintains a healthy rivalry with nearby Yoxall, also a regular winner in the East Staffordshire section.

Abbas Bromley is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086–7 as Brunlege, when it was part of the land of St Mary of Burton.

The current, triangular market place is now grassed over and serves as a village green and the focus for events on Horn Dance Day.

Henry VIII gave Bromley Abbatis to Sir William Paget, Clerk of the Signet and Privy Councillor.

Abbots Bromley remained comparatively isolated and in decline, losing its market, fairs and economic status.

[11] The village is part of the parliamentary constituency of Lichfield and is currently represented by Labour MP Dave Robertson.

The village is home to The Richard Clarke First School, run by the Uttoxeter Learning Trust for pupils aged 4–9.

The school was founded in 1606 via a bequest made by Richard Clarke a local man who achieved success in London in the trade of a dyer.

[13] The village has a large number of listed buildings, and its historic core has conservation area status, reflecting its pre-industrial townscape.

Of these, the half timbered Church House,[14] The Goats Head Inn,[15] which is claimed to be the original town hall, and the Schoolhouse[16] (Richard Clarke's 1606 Grammar School) are some of the most noteworthy.

The modern version of the dance involves reindeer antlers, a hobby horse, Maid Marian, and a Fool.

They compete in division 2 of the Stafford & District league and play home games at the Abbots Bromley School grounds named 'The Lowers'.

The club reached the Uttoxeter & District division 2/3 cup final in May 2012 but narrowly lost to Cheadle Town End on penalties in front of a crowd of 150+.

The Subsidiary Cup win was repeated in 2017 when a 6-2 victory against Stone Town FC at Abbots Bromley School saw Will Ferneyhough score five goals.

The club uses the training and playing facilities at Abbots Bromley School, and field up to 3 squads in the Burton and District league.

[96] Abbots Bromley Tennis Club was founded in 1913 and has two outdoor courts situated behind the Village Hall, off Bagot Street.
