Bretby

There are 12 acres (49,000 m2) of meadow, woodland pasture two leagues long and three furlongs broad.[2] In 1585, Thomas Stanhope bought Bretby Hall, which from then on was the home of the Earls of Chesterfield.George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon sold the property in the 1920s to pay for the Tutankhamun expedition.Overlooking the green is a residential house which records that it was called 'Bradby School' when it was built.[8][9] There is a small industrial area within Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote Green Belt, Bretby Stoneware Industrial Estate, based at the former Bretby Brick Works.
