  • Shackerstone
    Shackerstone Conservation Area Appraisal The early history of the village is uncertain and first reference to the settlement appeared in the Doomsday Book of 1086 when reference was made to “Sacrestone” which means town of robbers. After the Norman Conquest when the Saxon estates were handed over to the Norman overlords, a 12th century castle was built to the north of Station Road, the earthworks of which are still visible. In the Elizabethan era the Halls were the prominent family in the village. They occupied Shackerstone Hall next to the church for over 200 years from around 1630 until they emigrated to Australia in 1829 after selling the estate to Lord Howe. The Hall burned down in 1845 and was replaced by the Gopsall estate workers cottage on Church Walk. At that time, the village was a successful self supporting community and had four farms, two pubs two shops, a bakery, a builder, a carpenter, brickworks, a post office, a coal merchant, a dressmaker, a shoemaker and a blacksmith. It also was the home for a large coach building business until 1935 run by the Insley family which provided employment for a coachbuilder, a wheelwright and up to 30 other people. The coach works supplied wagons and wheelbarrows throughout the country. The farms included Bridge Farm which also housed the village bakery, Church Farm, Arnold Farm and Cattows Farm. To support the 300 residents in the village Earl Howe funded the construction of the village school and school house in 1844. The school closed in the 1930’s and the school house is now the Village Hall.
