	Braunstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Braunstone is a suburb of Leicester, England, to the south-west of the city centre.
		It was built on the grounds of Braunstone Hall, the remnant of the grounds of which are now Braunstone Park.

	Braunstone Town - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Braunstone is a civil parish in the district of Blaby in Leicestershire, now known as the Town of Braunstone.
		This part of the parish, which contains a large council estate was detached in 1935 from the Blaby district and Braunstone Parish to become part of the county borough of Leicester, hence the present split.
		The use of the name Braunstone Town is more recent, and is an attempt by the parish council to distinguish their village from the modern council estate of the same name.
