Parish of St Michael, Brixton- Deverill, Wiltshire.
Formerly part of the bailiwick of Ogbourne. The manor of Brixton-Deverill was given to the Abbey of Bec Herluin in Normandy by Queen Maud sometime before 1086, as the monks of Bec held it at the time of Domesday. The manor was situated between the Glastonbury manors of Monkton and Longbridge Deverill.
The monks also had the church at Brixton-Deverill, but gave this up when the prebend of Ogbourne was erected. Subsequently, their rights were limited to a few of the small tithes.
The property was acquired by the Dean and Canons of Windsor in 1421.
