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. 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 , 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 , in the patronage of the Bishop of Lichfield, an(~ incumbency of the Rev. Robert Cowpland, M.A., of Weeford.
