Church Broughton is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, 13.7 miles (22.0 km) to the west of Derby.

[4] The nearest place to Church Broughton that is mentioned in the Domesday Book is Barton, only 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi) from the village and with a total population of "31 households (quite large)", "4 ploughlands (land for), 3 lord's plough teams, 7 men's plough teams" and "64 meadow acres, 2 mills and 1 church."

The English government and aristocracy claimed this would allow for better raising of animals and crops, and that large fields could be farmed more productively than individual plots of the common land.
