Brassington
Derbyshire, England

This nice little village of about 600 souls is most likely the place from which my last name (Brasington) is derived. Brassington is a very picturesque village among rolling hills about 15 miles northwest of Derby in central England. The historical occupations in the area have been lead mining and farming.

Brassington is located near the Roman road between Little Chester and Buxton. The parish church, St James, dates back to Norman times (12 century). One of the village's two pubs dates from 1616. All the buildings are made of gray stone, many in 18th century style. It seems a quite delightful place and currently draws its share of retirees escaping the bussle of urban life. For more info, check out the Brassington web site.
