Brant Broughton (pronounced ''Brew''-ton) is a small village in the Brant Broughton and Stragglethorpe civil parish, in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Get-a-map online )〕 The name itself means 'Burnt fortified settlement', implying the place was burnt down at some point. 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Name: MEETING HOUSE AND ATTACHED STABLE List entry Number: 1061898 )〕 The Grade I listed Anglican parish church of St Helen,〔("Church of St Helen" ), ''National Heritage List for England'', English Heritage.

Although restored between 1873 and 1876, it retains its 170 ft. high spire, an Early English nave, arcades and chancel arch, and Perpendicular vaulted porches and clerestory.〔Cox, J. Charles (1916) ''Lincolnshire'' pp. 79, 80; Methuen & Co. Ltd〕 The village was the home of the theologian William Warburton, later the Bishop of Gloucester. He lived at Brant Broughton for eighteen years, during which time his studies resulted in his treatises ''Alliance between Church and State'' (1736) and ''Divine Legation of Moses'' (2 vols., 1737–41). ==See also== *St. Helen's Church, Brant Broughton 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brant Broughton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
