BrailsfordBrailsfordBrailsford is a quiet village on the A52 Derby to Ashbourne road. Brailsford has a curious tale concerning the shared ownership of its church. The Domesday Book contained an entry saying the 11th century building should be shared with the close by village of Ednaston, which it has done ever since.It is set in a delightful setting, about half a mile from the village, down a long country lane.It was originally built in the 11th and 12th centuries and consists of a nave, chancel, south aisle and tower. There have been later modifications like the 14th century chancel arch. The tower is ashlar-faced and diagonaly buttressed with a Perpendicular west door and west window. It contains an octagonal font in the Perpendicular style, with the lower part of the base exhibiting the Tudor rose. In the graveyard is a mid 11th century Saxon Cross, showing interlace and a human figure. There are many fine houses in the district which includes two 20th century country homes, Brailsford Hall, built in 1905 in Jacobean style, and Culland Hall.
