Draycott is a village in the Erewash district of Derbyshire, England. It lies around 6 miles east of Derby and 3 miles south-west of Long Eaton. Draycott is part of the civil parish of Draycott and Church Wilne. The meandering course of the River Derwent forms the southwestern boundary of the parish. Church Wilne is a hamlet about 0.7 miles south of Draycott in a relatively inaccessible location beside the Derwent. In medieval times Draycott and Church Wilne may have been of comparable sizes, but Draycott grew much larger because of its better communications. The Church Wilne Reservoir of the Severn Trent Water is nearby (it is actually in Breaston parish). The reservoir is used for water sports[2] and as a nature reserve. Church Wilne is split from its larger twin hamlet, Great Wilne, by the River Derwent.
