Broadway, 2-1/2 m.  N. of llminster, derives its name from its situation on an ancient track cut through what was once a surrounding forest.  The church (dedicated to SS.  Aldhelm and Edburga) is cruciform, with E.E. lights at the E. end, though the W. tower and nave windows are Perp.  Its most interesting features are the 15th-cent. hexagonal font with six figures (seemingly of apostles) at the angles, and the churchyard cross, with two effigies under a single canopy on its W. face.

Brockley is a small parish on the road from Bristol to Weston (nearest stat.  Nailsea, 2 m.).  The church lies a little to the R. of the main road from Bristol; it is E.E., but retains a Norm, font.  There is an ancient court-house close by.

On the left of the road is Brockley Combe, a beautiful glen between two wooded hills, flanked on one side for some distance by rocky cliffs, which are unfortunately being quarried in places.  The wealth of foliage in summer makes the ascent of the combe a delightful walk or drive.  It affords access to Chew Magna and Stanton Drew.

Brompton Ralph, a parish 4 m. from Wiveliscombe, on the road to Watchet.  The church is conspicuous by its position and has a tall tower, but is not otherwise remarkable, though it retains its old oak seats.

Brompton Regis or King’s Brompton, a village 5-1/2 m.  N.E. of Dulverton Station, lying amongst the hills which form the more cultivated fringe of Exmoor.  The church has the usual local characteristics—­a plain tower of the Exmoor type, and the Devonshire foliage round the arcade capitals.  Note plain large squint on S., and another, of more ornate character, on N. There is a plain Jacobean pulpit.

Broomfield, a parish situated at the S. end of the Quantocks, 5 m.  N. of Taunton.  In the church, which has a plain embattled tower and square turret, the chief features of interest are:  (1) stoup in S. porch, (2) the foliaged capitals of the arcade (on one note the emblems of the Passion), (3) the seat-ends, sadly needing repair, one of which bears the name of Simon Warman (whose name occurs on the woodwork at Trull), (4) the fine old glass in the S. window of the chancel.  In the churchyard is the headless shaft of a cross.  The mansion close by is Fyne Court.  A mile away to the N.N.E. is Ruborough Camp.  It is remarkable for its shape, being triangular in plan (cp.  Tedbury, near Mells), and occupies the extremity of a ridge between two declivities.  It covers 27 acres, and is overgrown with firs, which make inspection difficult.  On the W., the only vulnerable side, it is defended by an additional vallum and fosse, thrown across the ridge 100 yards from the base of the triangle (where the entrance to the camp is supposed to have been).  It is regarded as Roman, the usual rectangular plan being adapted to the nature of the ground.

Brushford, a parish near Dulverton Station, but 2 m.  S. from Dulverton itself.  It has an aisleless church, interesting only for (1) a good 15th-cent. screen, (2) a font, of which the bowl and base date from the 13th cent.  There is a splendid oak tree in the churchyard, which is reputed to be 600 years old.
