Breaston lies within the ancient hundred of Morleston and Litchurch and has been
    variously known as Breason, Braydeson, Braidstune, Bradeston, Breydison and
    Breston.  The origin of its name is said to be Braegd's tun, i.e. Braegd's farm.  From a
    population of 379 in 1801 it had risen to 4,502 in 1991.
