The settlement passed to his daughter, Hilary de Bulliers, who in turn left the village to the Abbey of Lilleshall in the county of Shropshire.

At the time of the dissolution of the monasteries the settlement and land was sold to the Earl of Rutland, who already owned property in the vicinity.

An estate map of 1785 [3] shows the area lacking any buildings although the undoubted medieval boundaries of Braunstonbury are shown.

The remains of the village lie within an almost square area of land bounded to the north by a low valley which was once occupied by fishponds.

A large quantity of medieval pottery dating from the 14th and 15th centuries has been found along the edge of a stream that runs along the northern boundary of the settlement.
