"Bradenstoke is a village in Wiltshire, England situated to the north of the RAF Lyneham airbase and to the south of the River Braydon. Originally lying within Braydon Forest, the "stoke" means "settlement". The parish itself is named Bradenstoke cum Clack, the latter being an ancient earthworks. Largely consisting of a long, narrow, main street, it has 3 churches, one shop and a pub. The former Bradenstoke Priory was founded in 1142 by Walter D’Evereaux, sheriff of Wiltshire, for the Augustinians. Having fallen into disrepair after the Dissolution of the monasteries, it was dismantled in 1930 to provide parts of a renovation of St.Donat's Castle, Wales, which had been bought by William Randolph Hearst."
