Brassington is a village 16 miles north-north-west
of Derby, between Wirksworth and Ashbourne, and has
a population of about 500. The name, spelled Branzingtune
in the Domesday Book, is thought to mean "Brand's
people's place". Most of the houses in the village
are built of local limestone, and most are 200 or
300 years old; there are 20th century houses in the
south end of the village. The oldest dated house,
wrongly named the Tudor House since the late 19th
century, was built in 1615. It was an inn until 1820,
when it was bought by the Parish and was used as a
workhouse until 1848. The Norman church, repaired
and enlarged in the 19th century, stands on the north
side of the steep valley in which the village lies.
There are three former Nonconformist chapels, all
now closed. The former Congregational chapel, at the
northern entrance to the village, is now the Village
Hall; the Primitive Methodist chapel, built by its
own members in 1834 above the church on the hillside,
is a private house; and the Wesleyan Reform chapel
has only recently closed. In addition to the Village
Hall, a new meeting place has recently been provided
by a British Legion building in the centre of the
village. There are two pubs, the Olde Gate, which
has a largely 19th century interior, and the Miners
Arms, which was modernised thirty years ago, and which
was once the venue for the Manor Court and the lead
miners' Barmote Court. The school was built in 1872,
after the passing of the 1870 Education Act, and is
now a primary school. In addition to agriculture,
which still provides employment for a few of the villagers,
Brassington was for centuries heavily dependent on
lead mining. The rough ground to the east, west and
north has the hillocks and hollows of hundreds of
abandoned mines; there are also remains of the miners'
buildings on some of the sites. There is current employment
in the village in heavy goods transport, steel fabrication
and furniture manufacture, though most of the villagers
are employed elsewhere. There are no shops and no
post office. There are bus services to Ashbourne and
Wirksworth.
