  • Elizabeth and Ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey by Jeremy Crick
    Elizabeth and ffrancis Trentham of Rocester Abbey by Jeremy Crick Part Three of the family history of Edward de Vere Earl of Oxford’s second wife and the strategic importance of the Trentham archive in the search for Oxford’s literary fragments. Introduction When the thirty-four year old Sir Thomas Trentham (1592-1628) inherited the manors of Rocester Abbey and Castle Hedingham upon the death of his father ffrancis in 1626, there seemed every likelihood that the fortunes of the Trentham family would continue to prosper. Their wealth and influence had grown with each succeeding generation and, being the first member of the family to be knighted (at the age of just twenty-four), Sir Thomas’ future and that of his family must have seemed very bright indeed as he stepped into his father’s shoes as lord of the manor. How tragic, then, that Sir Thomas’ untimely death only two years after coming into his inheritance began a process of decline that would see the complete extinction of his family barely a generation later. The fall of the Trentham family was so sudden and complete that their very name has passed out of all knowledge among today’s inhabitants of the village of Rocester. Within thirty years of Sir Thomas’ death, the Trentham family residence of Rocester Abbey over the previous hundred and twenty years would be demolished with no vestige of it remaining today. And it’s particularly tragic that when the parish church was completely rebuilt in the early Victorian period, leaving only the tower, all of the many tombs of the Trentham family were destroyed.

North Staffordshire Conurbation: Assessment of historical significance 3 FOREWORD The North Staffordshire conurbation is unique. Its historical development - based on mining, ceramics and other manufacturing industries - is unparalleled in any major urban area in the UK. However, these origins were both a boon and a bane for the area. On the one hand they gave North Staffordshire an economic purpose and vitality, which began in the very vanguard of the industrial revolution and created a wealth of world- renowned products whose enduring prestige continues to attract many thousands of visitors each year.
