Brauncewell Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to All Saints.[1] Built in the 16th century over an earlier church, it was largely rebuilt in 1857.[2] It includes a grave cover in the nave dated between the 10th and 12th century.[3] The church is now redundant.

Brauncewell is close to a large quarry.

A Bronze Age Barrow burial site, and Roman sites, have been identified within the parish.

The parish contains the remains of two deserted medieval villages:
