The manor was previously known as "Collingbourne Valence", in reference to the noble family which owned it and neighbouring settlements in the 13th and 14th centuries.[1] Brunton was not given to Hyde Abbey at the time that Collingbourne Kingston and Aughton were.
Brunton House is a seven-bay house from the late 17th or early 18th centuries, in brick with flint panels. It is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
