Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1364275 Bratton is a former agricultural village which lies on the ‘springline’ of the northern escarpment of Salisbury Plain about 2½ miles east of the town of Westbury. Large flocks of sheep were pastured on the Downs south of the village and corn was grown on the flat lands to the north. The village was the home of the renowned firm of R & J Reeves who produced agricultural machinery.
