Heritage Assets Tyrley
Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Tyrley Ward Tyrley A settlement recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 “lying within Hodnet Hundred (in Shropshire). William also holds Tyrley of the Earl Roger. Wulfric and Ravensward held it as two manors; they were free. One hide paying tax. There is land for two ploughs. There are four villagers and one slave with one plough. The value was 17 shillings and is now 20 shillings.” Recorded as a suspected lost village situated near the modern settlement of Hales by Bate and Palliser. No date of desertion is given. Jonathan Morris, in his book ‘The Shropshire Union Canal’ (1991), explains the origin of the name Tyrley. Tyrley Castle Farm is on the site of a Saxon castle which was built on a man-made mound in a field. The Saxon for mound is ‘tir’ and for field ‘ley’, hence Tirley which has become Tyrley Tyrley Wharf Page 68 Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Forming part of the Tyrley Conservation Area DC, The delightful collection of grade two listed buildings at Tyrley Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal was constructed by the Peatswood Estate to coincide with the completion of the canal. There were originally seven individual cottages built to house estate workers and a stable to accommodate the horses used to tow canal barges. Constructed in brown brick with ashlar dressings, slate roof with coped verges on stone kneelers, multi-paned 2- light casements in plastered stone surrounds to first, second and fourth bays from left, blind round-headed brick opening to third; 3 lean-to timber porches on brick dwarf walls with slate roofs to front over cambered doorways with boarded doors; prominent paired and rebated ridge stack to left (shared between Nos.30 and 31) and taller ridge stack to right (to No.32).

The Wars of the Roses: a Timeline of Key Events Edward III Reigns From
The Wars of the Roses: A Timeline of Key Events . Edward III reigns from 1327 – 1377. Edward has many sons the heirs of which become the key players in the Wars of the Roses (see family tree). o Edward’s first son Edward (The Black Prince) dies in 1376. His son, Richard becomes Richard II following Edward III’s death and reigns from 1377 until 1399. o Edward’s third son Lionel also predeceases him. Lionel’s daughter, however, is integral to the claim made by The House of York to the throne at the time of the Wars of the Roses. Her granddaughter marries Richard, Duke of York who is the son of Edward III’s fifth son, Edmund, Duke of York. Their child Richard, 3rd Duke of York will eventually make a claim for the throne during the Wars of the Roses. o Edward’s fourth son John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, founds The House of Lancaster. His son, Henry (Bolingbroke), overthrows Richard II to become Henry IV. The descendants of Henry IV are King Henry V and King Henry VI. The House of Lancaster therefore has an uninterrupted reign of 62 years. o Edward’s fifth son Edmund of Langley, Duke of York founds The House of York. His son Richard, 2nd Duke of York marries the great- granddaughter of Edward’s third son. 1377: Edward III dies, and Richard II, his grandson, becomes king. Richard II is overthrown by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke who becomes King Henry IV. 1413: Henry IV dies, and Henry V becomes king.
