Brant Broughton is a small village in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, lying north of the A17 and west of Leadenham, where the A17 crosses the A607 road. 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 and used as a meeting house by the Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers, and which still has its original humble furnishings preserved in situ. The village Church dedicated to 'St Helen' is said to have the most elegant spire in Lincolnshire. The spire although reduced in height in 1897 is 60m (198 ft) high. Parts of the church date back to about 1290 though most dates back to about the late 14th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1874-1876 (Which replaced an earlier rebuild of 1812).
