History

In the late 13th century, Braiswick and surrounding settlements were often referred to as Myland. In the middle-ages, settlements seemed to have been scattered over the un-wooded areas of the region including Tubswick, recorded from 1295, and Braiswick seems to have originated as a medieval freehold.[1]
