The Beginnings The Beginnings The family name originates in what is now the hamlet of Mucklestone in Staffordshire, on the border with Shropshire. The ancient parish of Muckleston (the e is an affectation), in Staffordshire lies four miles North East of Market Drayton in Shropshire and comprises the hamlets of Mucklestone, Aston, Knighton, Oakley and Winnington in Staffordshire and the hamlets of Woore, Bearstone, Dorrington and Gravenhunger in Shropshire and is in North Pirehill Hundred. Most parishioners farmed the land. Mucklestone and surrounding area (2000) Variations of the surname include Muckleston, Mucklestone, Muccleston, Mucclestone, Moccleston, Muckelston, Mucklestone and Mackleston and possibly others. In Walter Chetwynd’s History of Pirehill Hundred (1679) he writes “Leving one of ye Thanes, held Muccleston of ye king: there being a church, one hide of land, one acre of meadow land, and woods two furlongs in length, and as much in breadth, valued at 5s, all of which Aldric and Edric held before ye Conquest. About ye time of King John, William Pantolf gave to Norman his brother, all ye lands which Alina, his mother, held in dower in Mokleston, Winnington, Knighton, in exchange of certain lands which ye said Norman held of him in Standon.” The Pantolf family are believed to have come to England with William the Conquer and had been made Barons of Wem and given lands to go with the title by King William. It is believed that on inheriting the above lands Norman became Norman de Muccleston, the first member of the family to have this surname. At the time of the Domesday survey there was a priest at Mucklestone suggesting the presence of an early church. In the reign of Henry II (1154-1189) lands at Mucklestone were given to Combermere Abbey. Later the patronage of the church was associated with that of the Manor and the family which took its name from the village – the de Mucclestones. The parish church was rebuilt and the tower extended to four stages in the 13th century. Today it is lower than at that time, with the battlements and pinnacles probably built in the 16th century. The church and tower were restored between 1786 and 1790 and the nave and chancel extensively rebuilt. In 1883 a further restoration was carried out by Lynam and Rickman of Stoke on Trent. There are 13 stained glass windows in the church dating from the later 19th century. One features Margaret of Anjou wife of Henry VI, who is said to have witnessed the battle of Blore Heath from the top of the tower in 1459. According to the story, when she saw the Lancastrians were defeated, she and her close companions had their horses’ shoes reversed by the blacksmith near to the church and made their escape. Some documents in the Staffordshire archives give some indication of the early links of the family with the Manor of Mucklestone. 1203 – This was the year in which King John’s nephew and rival for the throne of England, vanished and was believed to have been murdered, having been captured by King John's supporters the previous year. The resident owner of the Manor was given as Adam de Mukelston. Adams original family name was said to have been a different one, he having assumed the name of the Manor on acquiring it. In a document dated 1210, the manor was held by a Walter de Muccleston, and around 1230 by another Adam de Muccleston. In 1210 King John was kept busy trying to exert his authority over rebels in France, Wales and Ireland, as a result of this activity he levied large taxes on his people, for example heirs had to pay a fee for the right to inherit. In 1215 this all came to a head when the Barons finally rebelled and forced King John to sign what is now known as the Magna Carta. After King John's death in 1216 his nine year old son was appointed King Henry III, the Welsh in particular saw this as an opportunity to gain back some lands which must have been unsettling for the residents of Muckleston, who were after all not that far away from Wales. This last Adam was probably Lord of the Manor from 1220 to 1245 and was married to a lady called Bertred. In 1248 (possibly another) Adam de Mucclestone proved his claim to appoint the priest to Mucclestone parish, in those days this was a jealously guarded privilege. He did this by proving the advowson (right of presentation to a benefice) against Geoffrey Griffin by showing that Adam his father had last presented one Thomas de Janeston who had recently resigned and become Parson of Swinnerton. In 1253 Bertred widow of Adam, is on record as suing Ivo de Paunton (possibly Pantulf) regarding the disputed ownership of some land. In 1306 (the same year that Robert the Bruce was declared King of Scotland), yet another Adam de Mucclestone and his wife Scolastica were recorded as pleading for her dowry of Frodswell (also in Staffordshire). In 1307, the first year of Edward II’s reign, Adam de Mucclestone and Scolastica his wife occur in the plea rolls against Henry de Wolaston that he should carry out his covenant, made between them respecting the Manor of Mucclestone and the advowson of the church. In 1309 Adam and Scolastica entailed Mucclestone on themselves and their heirs. The plea rolls also show that they owned a share of Leigh. (There are places called Leigh in both Shropshire and Staffordshire and the documents do not specify which place it is). Scolastica died in 1319. In 1320 William de Mucleston (possibly Adams brother), was granted letters of protection while serving against the Scots. King Edward II was on the English throne and was trying to bring Scotland back under English control, however King Robert of Scotland was determined not to allow this to happen, at one battle near York in September 1319, the English losses exceeded 3000 men. Both Kings wrote to Pope John XXII to elicit his support for their cause. A truce was eventually called between them. Around 1329 an Adam de Mucclestone married Joan. We have no records yet whether this was a second wife following the death of Scolastica, or his sons’ marriage. The next Lord of the Manor appeared to have been Sir John Muckleston. From all accounts he was a good soldier. He fought abroad for the King in 1342 and 1359. He fought in the retinue of John de Cherleton, Lord of Powis in 1359. He was knighted for his services but we have not been able to find any record giving the date that this took place. In 1342 King Edward III was at war with France over the disputed succession for the Duchy of Brittany. Wars continued with France over various lands until a peace treaty was signed in May 1360. John married Margaret de Lys, a widow. We have no date for this, a common problem with early records, many were not dated, the dates faded, were illegible or lost. By 1345 Hoeskyn de Muccleston, successor to a Roger de Muccleston, had settled on lands near Oswestry on the Welsh border, and although the family name died out in Mucklestone itself, his descendants went on to prosper. We believe that all the Muckleston(e)s and Macklestons alive today are direct descendants of Hoeskyn de Muccleston, although this still has to be proven for a few branches. The Buckinghamshire Plea Rolls for 14th January 1346/7 show that the Sheriff was ordered to arrest William de Mokeleston, Knight of County Salop and Thomas de Mokeleston, the son of the said William and keep them in the Kings Prison until they paid £20 to Augustine de Waleys whom they had acknowledged to owe him in 1342. The sheriff made no return to the writ and was ordered as before and to make a return the following Easter. We are unsure if our illustrious ancestors spent any time in the Kings Prison or avoided it by paying the debt. In 1352 Nicholas de Mucklestone was elected Prior of Trentham Priory in Staffordshire (near Newcastle under Lyme). He was Prior for 50 years retiring in 1402. Trentham Priory was only a small priory, the largest number of monks they had was only seven or eight. The plea rolls for Edward III dated 29th September 1353 show some of the family relationships. “ Robert de Oldenhulle was attached (served with a writ to attend court) at the suit of Joan formerly wife of William de Mokeleston, chiveler (Chevalier, a term often used at this time to denote a knight or well born person), for forcibly breaking into her house at Mokeleston, on the Friday after the feast of Easter, and taking her goods and chattels, viz., sick sashes (zonas de serico), rings and gold buckles, silver dishes, furs and silver basins, mazers (probably cups made of maple wood), linen and woollen clothes, brass and wooden vessels, tables, an image of alabaster, and other utensils of the house to the value of £20. Robert appeared by attorney and denied having inflicted any injury on Joan, and as regarded the breaking into the house and carrying away the silk sashes, rings and buckles of gold and silver, he stated he was not guilty, and appealed to a jury, and as regarded taking away the other things excepting the woollen and linen clothes, he pleaded that William de Mokeleston, knight, formerly husband of Joan, had demised (i.e. Transferred by lease) to him and to his heirs by deed the Manor of Mokeleston, together with all the goods and chattels within the manor, for a term of fourteen years, and he had taken them by virtue of the said deed, as was lawful; and as regarded the taking of the linen and woollen clothes, he stated that Joan had pledged them to him for a sum of 8 marks, which he had lent to her, and which was to have been paid at the feast of Pentecost, and as she had not paid the money, he had taken the goods, but was prepared to surrender them whenever the loan was repaid.

  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • Fulford Chapel and St
    THE HISTORY OF FULFORD CHAPEL AND ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH The old yews in St.Nicholas churchyard on the high ground at the north end of Fulford point to the church being a very early place of worship, and it was certainly well established as a Chapelry in the 14th century, being listed among the Churches of Pirehill Hundred in the Parish of St.Michael’s Church in Stone, together with Darlaston, Meaford, Oulton, Moddershall, Tittensor, Beech, Hilderstone and Aston. It was visited by the commissioners of Henry VI in connection with the inventory of Church ornaments soon after the introduction of the second prayer book of that reign (1422-1461). They found one chalice of silver without paten, one bell in the steeple, one cloth for the altar, and a surplice for the Curate. ‘Beresford's Historical Notes’ states that " the chapel is said to have been in existence before 1552 and was dedicated to St.Nicholas”, the school being held in the north aisle until a school was built in 1785 ”. A local squire, Mr.Shalcross, gave the money for the building of the north aisle which was named after him in 1649. From the painting that William Walsh did of the old Chapel in 1814 it would appear that the Chapel was built in about the 13 th century and that it was built using Keuper ‘white’ sandstone that had been quarried behind Fulford Manor Farm for centuries. It measured approximately 14 metres by 10 metres and is shown as being of mixed architectural styles, with the east window being Early English and the two tiny side windows appearing to be Norman.

  • Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan
    Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan 2013-2033 Version 2.18 Submission Foreword In September 2015 Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council, designated the Loggerheads Neighbourhood Area. This comprised the entire area of Loggerheads Parish. Throughout this plan, ‘Loggerheads’ refers to the entire parish and neighbourhood plan area. The term ‘Loggerheads Village’ refers to that settlement only and not the entire parish. The production of the Neighbourhood Plan has been led by the Parish Council, with input from residents and external consultants. Once made, the Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan will form part of the statutory development plan for the area, together with the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke on Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006 – 2026 (adopted October 2009) and the Newcastle-under- Lyme Local Plan 2011 (adopted in 2003). The Borough Council, as the Local Planning Authority, will have to determine planning applications in accordance with the statutory development plan, including the Neighbourhood Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The Neighbourhood Plan will be in force until the end of 2033, unless it is revised and replaced before that time. The Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan reflects local evidence and the comments received from questionnaires and surveys that have been undertaken during 2015-16. It is evident that people are happy living in the parish, but have a desire to make improvements where appropriate. The policies set out in the Neighbourhood Plan seek to address key concerns relating to housing, transport, heritage, economy and sport, health and community facilities. Acknowledgements This document has been developed and produced by the Parish Council, working with a community group of volunteers with wide ranging skills and backgrounds.

  • Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan 2013-2033
    Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan 2013-2033 Version 2.20 “Made” 15 February 2019 Foreword This is the ‘Made’ version of the Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan, following successful Referendum in January 2019 and the earlier draft plan. It reflects the hard work of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group over the last three years and the commitment of Loggerheads Parish Council to the principles and practice of “Localism”. However, it is your involvement and support that has been most valuable. Following the successful outcome at referendum on 10th January 2019 the Loggerheads Neighbourhood Plan has now been ‘made’ by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and forms part of the development plan for the area, together with the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke on Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006 – 2026 (adopted October 2009), the Newcastle-under-Lyme Local Plan 2011 (adopted in 2003), the Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire(2015 -2030) and the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Waste Local Plan (2010 to 2026). To the extent that development plan policies are material to the determination of a planning application or an appeal. the decision must be taken in accordance with the development plan unless there are material considerations that indicate otherwise. The Plan came through the independent examination with its intent and purpose intact, the only changes being to some words in the policies. In September 2015 Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, designated the Loggerheads Neighbourhood Area. This comprised the entire area of Loggerheads Parish. Throughout this plan, ‘Loggerheads’ refers to the entire parish and neighbourhood plan area. The term ‘Loggerheads Village’ refers to that settlement only and not the entire parish.
