The parish also includes the settlements of Brindley Lea, Ryders Bank and part of Radmore Green,[1] with a total population of about 150.

This also ended up including 'Birndelegh', when Richard the clerk of that place failed to prosecute William de Spurstow that same year.

[9] On 10 November 1361, Edward, Earl of Chester, granted the office of Constable of Beeston Castle (less than 6 miles from Brindley) to John de Brundelegh, with a salary: £4 a year and receiver of St. Pierre lands[10] of which Brindley was a part, and also turf from Peckforton Moss (income from a valuable fuel).

In common with much of the surrounding area, the village was occupied by Royalist forces as they advanced on Nantwich in December 1643 during the Civil War.

[15][16] From 1974 the civil parish was served by Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council, which was succeeded on 1 April 2009 by the new unitary authority of Cheshire East.

An unnamed brook runs east–west across the civil parish and there are numerous small meres and ponds scattered across the farmland.

Brindley Lea Hall (SJ590535) is a brown-brick farmhouse which was built around 1860 as part of the Tollemache estate; it is also grade II listed.

[30] It forms a venue for theatrical and musical performances as part of the Cheshire Rural Touring Network and also provides a meeting place for local organisations.
