Brant Broughton lies north of the
A17 road and west of
Leadenham, where the A17 crosses the
A607 road. The
River Brant flows to the east of the village, where it is joined by the Sand Beck. The name itself means 'fortified settlement on the River Brant’. The village has a very wide main street with many of the houses dating back to the
coaching days of the 18th and 19th centuries when many of the residents were based in
London and used the village for their country retreats. An unusual building in the village is the converted barn in Meeting House Lane, built in 1701. Used as a meeting house by the
Quakers, it retains its original furnishings. The
Grade I listed

Early English nave,
arcades and
chancel arch, and
Perpendicular vaulted porches and
