Breaston is a civil parish in the Erewash district of Derbyshire, England. The parish contains six listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, one is listed at Grade I, the highest of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. The parish contains the village of Breaston, and the listed buildings consist of houses, a former farm building, and a church.
The church has been altered and extended through the centuries, and the vestry was added in 1895. It is built in stone with lead roofs, and consists of a nave with a north clerestory, a north porch, a south aisle, a chancel with a south vestry, and a west steeple. The steeple has a tower with two stages, and a blocked west doorway with a semicircular head, imposts and a keystone, over which is a lancet window. On three sides are clock faces, the bell openings are double lancets, and at the top is a broach spire with ogee-headed lucarnes.[2][3]
