Just wondering if anyone has any information as to how Brain's Green got it's name?
Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated. Thanks

According to British History on Line - Awre

'perhaps named from George BRAIN of Woodside who died in 1733'

Fod Records

George BRAIN buried at Awre 24 August 1733 (added to Will and dated ......14 April 1737 - signed Dinah LANE and Arthur LANE ***)

His Will dated 10 August 1733 is on Ancestry -

George BRAIN spelt BRAYNE is listed as a Gent and mentions lands etc. There is also an Inventory dated 16 October 1733
