Brereton is a civil parish and village which now part of the town of Rugeley in Staffordshire, England. It once had a separate identity but has now been subsumed into the town of Rugeley along with Ravenhill, which was built later connecting Brereton to Rugeley, although it is in the civil parish of Brereton and Ravenhill. At the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 6,524, increasing to 6,538 at the 2011 Census. Mining was a big part of this area not only from the Leahall Mine but also several smaller ones in the area. Recently part of the mine area has been redeveloped as the Towers Business Park with its iconic Towers Point building. There are several churches within the district, the most notable being the Church of England Church of St. Michael's. There is also a Methodist church, built in 1809, the first church building in Brereton, named the Brereton Methodist Church. Brereton used to have a railway running to the mines that were once there including the Belfast Mine. The Levels where now there is an industrial estate is where this railway run. There was several mines in the Brereton area as there was with all of the Rugeley area. The Leahall Mine being the largest and most recent until present time where all local mines have ceased to operate. Big plans including a 2,300 housing development are now planned for the Leahall site. The Chase sits on the southwest side of the area including an area known to the locals as First Wood (due to Startley Lane split it) but officially known as Chetwynd Coppice. The Second Wood (known officially as Brereton Hayes close to Wandon) is where locally known Trout Lodge (Horsepasture Pools) and Redbrook Pool (Where Redbrook Lane gets its name) is located.
