Bruton, Market town in South Somerset, England

The River Brue flows through this Somerset settlement, which contains numerous stone buildings and connects Frome with Yeovil via the A359 road.

The Church of St Mary was established in the 7th century by Ine of Wessex, while the town appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as Briuuetone.

The Bruton Museum exhibits local artifacts from the Jurassic period, including a table used by author John Steinbeck during his regional residence.
