This manor passed from the Staffords to the Stanleys, and by marriage to John Brook, Esq. It sub­ sequently became the property of Joseph Girdler, sergeant-at-law, from whom it passed to two coheiresses ; so that it is now in two moities, be-· longing to Lady Chetwynd, and John Neville, Esq., the latter of whom is l.ord of the whole manor, and resides in the Hall, which is a fine specimen of the old half-timbered houses, having several florid gables and transom windows. The other mansion is occupied by Wm. Darlaston Webb, Esq. 'tJntill832, Haselour was claimed as a member of St. Michael's parish, Lichfield; but in that year, after a long and expensive litigation between the owners of the manor and the Churchwardens of St. Michael's, the latter suffered judgment to be filed against them in the Court of King's Bench. The feast is on the same day as that at Harlaston, a neighbouring chapelry, where the inhabitants have church room • . HINTS is a small village delightfully situated on the side of a lofty emi· nence, that rises on the north side of the river Bourn, five miles S.S.E. of Lichfield. Its parish contains .213 inhabitants, and 1570 acres of land, of which 200 acres belong to Lord Wenlock, and the remainder to the lord Qf the manor, Wm. Humberstone Cowley Floyer, Esq., who is also lessee of the great tithes under the preben£lary of Hansacre. The village stands on the Roman Watling street, and near the church is a large tumulus, supposed to be of Roman construction; In 1792, some labourers, in digging on Hints Common, found a pig of lead weighing 150lbs., and bearing the fOllowing inscription in basso relievo: "IMP. VESP. VII. T. IlVIP. V. COS." which plainly refers to the year of Christ 76, when· Vespasian and . Titus were c<>.nsuls, the first the seventh, and the other the fifth time. They were both calle(l Emperors, from their being associated in the governmeni 'Of the Empire. The Church is a small modern structure of Grecian architecture, and, from its lofty situation, is a very picturesque object in the scenery of this romantic vale. It has several monuments of the Floyers, who have held the manor more than two centuries. It has only ISO sittings, of which 80 are free. The living is a perpetual curacy, valued at only £80, and con- . solidated with that of Weeford, in the patronage of the Bishop of Lichfield, an(~ incumbency of the Rev. Robert Cowpland, M.A., of Weeford. " • Bayley Samuel, shoemaker Floyer Rev. Charles, M.A., incum· f~sher Josiah1 butcher bent of Whittinston .

    WALKS IN LONGDON LOCATION Longdon is midway between Lichfield and Rugeley on the A51 road with Longdon Green on one side (signposted) and Longdon (Brook End) on the other. HISTORY LONGDON The name Longdon is derived from the Saxon “Langandune”, PARISH meaning long hill, located in the old Offlow Hundred. The Bishops of Lichfield held the manor of Longdon up to 1546 when it was surrendered to Henry VIII. In the same year the king granted ownership to Sir William (later Lord) Paget, an ancestor of the Marquis of Anglesey. He was one of the principal Secretaries of State. In 1563 Longdon was recorded with 102 households which grew to 178 by 1665. Today the population is around 2000, occupying approximately 1850 hectares. 4.

  • Medieval Homerwych
    Medieval Homerwych Introduction The modern settlement of Hammerwich is situated approximately 5km west of the Cathedral city of Lichfield and 2.5km from the Roman fort of Wall (Letocetvm, ‘The Grey Woods’). The Roman fort at Wall sat at the crossroads of two major cross country routes: Watling Street (A5) and Icknield Way. These ancient pathways provided Hammerwich with important trade and distribution routes. Hammerwich lay within that portion of Cannock forest which became Cannock Chase in the 13 th century (B.H.O., doc.2, 1). The King William inquest evidence for Hammerwich Figure 1.

  • Staffordshire (Pdf)
    STAFFORDSHIRE The county of Staffordshire lies in the western part of the Midlands of England. It is bordered to the west by Shropshire and Cheshire, to the north-east by Derbyshire, to the south-east by Warwickshire, and to the south by Worcestershire. In the 18th and 19th centuries two large centres of industry developed. In the north of the county, the area around Hanley and Stoke- on-Trent became the centre of the ceramic industry, known as ‘The Potteries’, and in the south- west the iron industry flourished in the area that became known as ‘The Black Country’. The county authorities were active in the inspection of weights in the early 19th century, and they were among the first to obtain Imperial Standards in 1825. Three inspectors were appointed in 1834. From 1847 some police officers were used as inspectors, but the county reverted to civilian inspectors in 1858. There were several localities that had separate jurisdiction over weights and measures. Since medieval times Lichfield had been a county-in-itself, but by the 19th century it had declined in importance although there is some evidence of activity in the inspection of weights and measures. There were four ancient boroughs: Stafford, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Tamworth, and Walsall. These were joined as Municipal Boroughs by Wolverhampton (1848), Hanley (1857), Longton (1865), Stoke-on-Trent (1873), Burslem (1878), Burton-upon-Trent (1878), West Bromwich (1882), and Smethwick (1899). In 1889 Walsall, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton became County Boroughs, followed by Smethwick (1907) and Stoke-on-Trent (1910, united with Hanley, Burslem and Longton).
