Welcome to Branston & Mere Online!
The Doomsday Book of 1086 recorded the village population as 350. The population increased rapidly during the 20th century and was recorded as 4019 in the 2001 census.
The character of the village has changed a lot since the second world war but has retained its historic centre, designated a conservation area and where the majority of buildings are constructed from local limestone. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside with many lovely walks and footpaths to be enjoyed.
Village amenities include All Saints Church; Branston Hall hotel; infant, junior and secondary schools; two GP practices; a pharmacy and a Post Office. There are several shops including the Co-op; a newsagent; a kitchen showroom and a range of fast food outlets. With three hairdressers; a Spa; a tanning studio; coffee shop; public house and
a host of craftsmen and tradesmen, Branston has a lot to offer.
