The river Brant flows to the east of the village, where it is joined by the Sand Beck. The name itself means 'Burnt fortified settlement', implying the place was burnt down at some point.

The village has a very wide main street with many of the houses dating back to the coaching days of the 18th and 19th centuries when many of the residents were based in London and used the village for their country retreats.

An unusual building in the village is the converted barn in Meeting House Lane, built in 1701. Used as a meeting house by the Quakers, it retains its original furnishings.

The Grade I listed Anglican parish church of St. Helen, which is said to have the most elegant spire in Lincolnshire. Although restored between 1873 and 1876, it retains its 170 ft. high spire, an early English nave, arcades and chancel arch, and Perpendicular vaulted porches and clerestory.

The village was the home of the theologian William Warburton, later the Bishop of Gloucester. He lived at Brant Broughton for eighteen years.
