The main village of Braunston is situated on a hill above the road and the canals, and formerly had a [[windmill]], the building of which still stands but without any sails. The village contains several [[pub]]s (''The Boathouse'', ''The Admiral Nelson'', ''The Plough'', and ''The Wheatsheaf''), a selection of shops - excellent butchers, hairdressers and village stores incorporating the post office, a fish and chip shop, car servicing garage and a primary school. The Braunston Manor Hotel has now closed with the main house reverting to residential use and the outhouse buildings redeveloped for a housing development. In 1374, the manor itself was the subject of one of a number of property disputes involving the landowning [[Roger Corbet (died 1395)#Background|Corbet family]].

Braunston's main claims to fame are its [[canal]] and church.
