Brightwalton is a village and civil parish in the Berkshire Downs about north of Newbury in West Berkshire. It has a population of 322.

The history of the Church of England parish church of All Saints goes back at least as far as the Domesday Book of 1086. The building was demolished in 1863[1] and replaced by a Gothic Revival one designed by G.E. Street, who was architect to the Diocese of Oxford. Street retained and re-used some 13th century Early English Gothic features from the original building.[1]

The parish has a Church of England primary school. It too was designed by Street and built in 1863.
