Brixton Deverill is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Warminster in Wiltshire, England.
The parish is in the Deverill Valley which carries the upper waters of the River Wylye. The six villages of the valley - Kingston Deverill, Monkton Deverill, Brixton, Hill Deverill, Longbridge Deverill and Crockerton - are known as the Deverills.
Brixton Deverill appears in the Domesday Book.[2]
Local government
The parish elects a joint parish council with neighbouring Kingston Deverill. The combined council is Upper Deverills Parish Council.[3]
Brixton Deverill falls within the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.
Church
The Anglican Church of St Michael the Archangel dates from the 13th century. The font from St Giles, Imber, was relocated here following the evacuation of that village in 1943.[4][5]
