[edit] History
Breadsall was mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers[1] and being worth four pounds. The text includes reference to a knight, a church, meadows and a mill.[2].
The church of All Saints has a very fine war memorial in the style of a Celtic cross within the churchyard, commemorating fourteen men who died during the First World War and nine men and one woman who lost their lives during the Second World War.
