History
In the Domesday Book, Brandon Parva is recorded as a settlement of five households in the hundred of Forehoe. In 1086, the village was part of the estates of Alan of Brittany.[1]
On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Coston, Runhall, and Welborne.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 111; in March 2011, the population is estimated to have been around 30.[3]
Church
The parish church, which is dedicated to All Saints, dates from the 15th century and is built in a perpendicular gothic style. The church was significantly restored in the 19th century, with stained-glass installed by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.[4] The building is Grade II listed.[5]
