  • North Staffordshire Forest Plan 2019 to 2028
    North Staffordshire Forest Plan 2019 to 2028 1 North Staffordshire Forest Plan 2019 to 2028 Summary The North Staffordshire Forest Plan (FP) summaries proposals by the Forestry Commission for the management of six woodlands, Big Bishops (352ha), Little Bishops (81ha), Burnt Wood (88ha), Tittensor (72ha) , Swynnerton Old Park (329ha) and Walton’s Wood (13ha). The plan area of 935ha lies 8km west of Stoke on Trent and 19km northwest of Stafford, with easy access from the M6 and local conurbations. The proposed management for each woodland will contribute to the landscape character area (Staffordshire Plain Regional Character Area 61) and landscape policy objectives through no loss of woodland cover, the restoration of former ancient woodland sites and the continued active management of woodlands in the landscape. The FP woodlands are largely (88%) ancient woodland sites now planted with conifers. Pine is the main conifer species covering 50% of the woodland area. Felling operations carried out over the last 25 years as the conifer crops have matured has created a diverse woodland structure across most of the FP and the transitional open space has created niche habitats for ground nesting birds and a wide selection of Lepidoptera have been recorded. The management plans objectives will be to grow commercial crops on a sustainable basis, gradual restoration of ancient woodlands, diversify further the forest structure through thinning and felling, increase deadwood habitats and the number of Trees of Special Interest (TSI) and maintain the public access. The principal ecological interest in the plan is associated with the transitional open space, ride sides and associated fauna.

  • 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.

The resultant moated castle represents an extra- ordinary and enduring piece of Staffordshire’s heritage. Over the years the castle has been occupied by numerous dignitaries and Staffordshire denizens including several High Sheriffs, the MP and first Mayor of Stafford Matthew Cradock, William Holles Vane (2nd Viscount Vane), and the Wedgwood family. It has also been home to three convent orders, most recently from 1965-1978 after which it passed back in to private ownership. In acknowledgment of its medieval origins and historical significance, Caverswall Castle is designated on the National Heritage List for England (NHLE) as a Grade-I listed building(1). As shown in Table 1, Caverswall is one of only a small minority of NHLE entries that meet the Grade-I selection criteria: Table 1: The Designation of Listed Buildings by Grade in England and Staffordshire(1).
