context_page_description: Brenzett is a village and civil parish in the Folkestone and Hythe District of Kent, England. The village lies on the Romney Marsh, three miles west of New Romney. The population of the civil parish includes the hamlet of Snave.
  The place-name 'Brenzett' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Brensete. The name is thought to mean 'burnt house' in Old English.
  It is the home to the Romney Marsh Wartime Collection incorporating the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum Trust, which as well as exhibiting the remains of various World War II combat aircraft that have been excavated from the surrounding marshland also includes a de Havilland Vampire T.11 and an English Electric Canberra B.2 on display in the museum grounds.
  Brenzett was also the site of a Royal Air Force Advanced Landing Ground airfield during the Second World War, RAF Brenzett, at one time operating P-51 Mustangs.
  Whilst Brenzett is a busy transport hub, it has surrendered its public house, Little Chef restaurant and Post Office, but retains a petrol station and school.
context_section_description: Brenzett was the setting for E. Nesbit's ghost story "Man-size in Marble" from the Grim Tales collection of 1893.
  Rudyard Kipling mentions Brenzett in his poem, A three part song.
  In the 1981 BBC television comedy drama Private Schulz – which dramatised the genuine but unrealised Second World War plot by the Germans (Operation Bernhard) to print and distribute millions of fake British pound notes – several million pounds' worth of fake pound notes were buried near Brenzett by the character of Private Schulz after he parachuted into Kent, in preparation for their dispersal throughout the British economy.
