All Saints Church, Brailsford, was described as half a church in the Domesday Book, referring to its status as a shared church between Brailsford and the hamlet of Ednaston. It about half a mile from the village, down a long country lane.
It was originally built in the 11th and 12th centuries and consists of a nave, chancel, south aisle and tower. There have been later modifications, such as the 14th century chancel arch. The church contains an octagonal font in the Perpendicular style, with the lower part of the base exhibiting the Tudor rose.
In the graveyard is a mid 11th century Saxon Cross.
