The centre of the village, that still supports a pub, two shops, a post office and a National Trust museum. The village name was Brixton until the early part of the 20th century although the pronunciation has not changed. The pub on the left is now named the Three Bishops, in honour of three rectors of Brighstone church who went on to become Bishops: Thomas Ken (rector 1667-1669 and later Bishop of Bath and Wells), Samuel Wilberforce (son of the anti-slave campaigner) (rector 1830-1840 and later Bishop of Winchester) and George Moberly (rector 1867-1869 and later Bishop of Salisbury).
