Bracebridge Pool is one of the biggest pools within the park. The pool owes its name to Sir Ralph Bracebridge, who secured a life lease on Sutton Coldfield Chase in 1419. In an effort to ensure a bountiful supply of bream for his loved ones and companions, he commissioned the construction of this pool.
