Brixton Deverill is a small village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Warminster in Wiltshire, England.
[3][4] Subsequent excavations by archaeologists from Historic England and The Salisbury Museum found a mosaic floor from the mid-4th century, belonging to a grand villa arranged around three sides of a courtyard.
[5] In 1086, Domesday Book recorded a settlement called Devrel with 25 households, a church and a mill, on land held by the Abbey of Bec-Hellouin, Normandy.
[7] The abbey lost control of the estate during the wars with France, and in the 1440s Brixton was granted to King's College, Cambridge, who held it until 1941.
[9] 17th-century buildings include (south of the village) George's Barn, a pair of semi-detached cottages extended on both sides in the 18th century, all with thatched roofs.
[12] The two parishes fall within the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.
