Situation Colton House is situated in the heart of the village of Colton, an ancient Staffordshire village mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Colton is located midway between Stafford and Lichfield (both within 10 miles) and whilst a small village it has an active community, with a primary school, church, village hall and two pubs. The local town of Rugeley is 2.3 miles away and offers general facilities and shopping. Rugeley Trent Valley railway station is located just a mile away and has direct trains to London, currently taking 105 minutes. Stafford railway station is located 9 miles away and has direct trains to London Euston taking from just 77 minutes. The area has easy access to an excellent road network, including the M6/M6 Toll, A51, A5, A50 and M1. Local airports include Birmingham, East Midlands and Manchester. Colton is located 2.1 miles from Cannock Chase, an area of outstanding natural beauty and former Royal forest; home to fallow dear and a number of rare and endangered birds . There are a number of visitor centres, museums, bridleways, trails and paths throughout the Chase. In fact you can walk from Colton House along the canal towpath towards Shugborough Hall, to the wildlife centre, local antique/craft shops and pub. History Colton House is believed to have been built in the early 1700s. In 1841 the House was turned into a boarding school educating boys, however, it was turned back into a private residence by 1881 and remained until it was used by the Army during the second world war. In 1946, Colton House was converted into six flats which were rented out for the next 31 years. In 1977, the House underwent a major renovation and was turned back onto one home. Plasterwork has been restored to its original condition and stone work has been cleaned. Today the House has been used as a high quality bed and breakfast, awarded with numerous awards including “best guest accommodation in England” from Visit England Description Colton House, whilst currently run as a successful Guest House, could easily be used as a residential home without much remedial work. The existing owners have restored Colton House over the last forty years, retaining many of the original features whilst enhancing and improving modern day fittings. The property has impressive fireplaces to the ground floor together with sliding sash windows fitted with working shutters, and throughout there are a variety of ornate plaster work/ coving to the ceilings. A grand reception hall with a Hollington Stone carved fireplace to one side, leads to four spacious ground floor reception rooms, all with ornate ceiling plaster work. The drawing room and dining room, are both located to the rear of the property and enjoy views over the extensive gardens. The drawing room (currently used as a conference room) features an elegant marble fireplace to one end and a large double glazed bay window to the other. Located to the front of the property are the bar and informal sitting room. The bar features panelled walls and an ornate plaster ceiling, which makes it a cosy and atmospheric room. To the rear of the reception hall an elegant staircase leads to both the first and second floor. There are five stylish bedroom suites located on the first floor, with an additional two further bedrooms with space and potential for ensuite bathrooms also on this floor as well as large linen store. On the second floor there are a further seven, beautifully presented bedroom suites, along with office, cloakroom, large attic room and secondary staircase which leads back down through the House to the ground floor. The property also benefits from extensive cellars, including a wine cellar. Gardens and Grounds The property is approached via a block paved driveway which leads to the rear of the property and provides parking for several cars.

    Talbot Street/Lichfield Street, Rugeley Conservation Area Appraisal 2019 Search for ‘Cannock Chase Life’ @CannockChaseDC www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk Conservation Area Appraisal Talbot Street/Lichfield Street, Rugeley 1. Introduction A Conservation Area is “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 places a duty on the local authority to designate Conservation Areas where appropriate. It also requires the local authority to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation or enhancement of these areas. An Appraisal was first produced for Talbot Street/Lichfield Street Conservation Area in 2005 and this document updates its predecessor making use of much of the information contained therein. The updates comprise some rearrangement of layout to accord with the house style developed subsequently, updates to the planning policy context following national and local policy changes, and references reflecting recent development and changes of use in the Conservation Area. This Appraisal seeks to provide a clear definition of the special architectural or historic interest that warranted designation of Talbot Street/Lichfield Street as a Conservation Area through a written appraisal of its character and appearance – what matters and why. The Appraisal is intended as a guide upon which to base the form and style of future development in the area. It is supported by adopted policy in Cannock Chase Local Plan (Part 1) 2014 CP15 seeking to protect and enhance the historic environment, policies CP12 and CP14 aiming to conserve biodiversity and landscape character and Policy CP3 seeking high standards of design.

  • The Times on March 18, 2006 Holy Grail ‘Clue’ at Stately Home
    Magnum Opus: the search for the Heart (Cardo) or real Self. by Peter Welsford. INTRODUCTION Shugborough Hall, Lichfield The enigma of Shugborough Hall originally surfaced in 1982, grabbing the attention of the same very large public as had been originally alerted, through the publication of The Holy Blood & Holy Grail by Henry Lincoln and others ~ the first international best-seller to introduce seriously, the mystery of Rennes le-Chateau the little village in the South of France ~ as a direct result of the discovery of the strange parchments in that church by Saunière, the French Catholic priest. There is a brief reference in that book to „the imposing marble bas-relief‟ in the grounds of Shugborough and a full page photograph (p.158), showing the engraving of a copy of the ancient Nicholas Poussin painting in the marble, bearing the following caption: “„The Shepherds‟ Monument, Shugborough Hall, Staffs. This is an eighteenth century copy of Poussin‟s „Les Bergers d‟Arcadia‟ reversed, mirror fashion. The inscription has never been deciphered‟. Yet carrying the mysterious motif with its: Et In Arcadia Ego, ~ written on the tomb, ~ the same as had been seen on the ground, near Rennes le-Chateau. For those unfamiliar with this saga ~it is briefly stated in the book that „formerly a bishop‟s residence, Shugborough (close to Lichfield Cathedral) was purchased by the Ansons in 1697 (the Lichfield line having become extinct, it was bought in the early nineteenth century by the Anson family: now the present Earls of Lichfield.)‟ When a member of that family died in 1762, it was reported that an elegiac poem was read aloud in Parliamenthaving these first and last lines, in a stanza of the poem: Upon that storied marble cast thine eye .

  • Final Draft Rugeley Town Centre
    Conservation Area Appraisal Rugeley Town Centre 1. Introduction This document seeks to provide a clear definition of the special architectural or historic interest that warranted designation of Rugeley town centre as a Conservation Area through a written appraisal of its character and appearance – what matters and why. It is intended as a guide upon which to base the form and style of future development in the area as it continues to evolve. An Appraisal was produced for Rugeley following Conservation Area designation in 1973, and updated in 2000. The current document again updates its predecessors, making use of some information contained therein. Rugeley Town Centre Conservation Area was designated in December 1973 and covers the historic core of this market town. Its boundary is shown on Plan 1. Rugeley stands between Lichfield and Stafford on the south bank of the River Trent on ground rising from the valley to the forest and heath of Cannock Chase. The Rising Brook flows down from the Chase through the centre of the town. The town was first documented at the time of the Domesday Survey, and its development has focussed on the main Lichfield-Stafford road along Horsefair, Upper and Lower Brook Street and Market Street. Rugeley’s prosperity has been based on its mining and industrial history with water power an important asset and its first market charter dating from 1259. The Trent and Mersey Canal (formerly Grand Trunk Canal) to the east of the town opened in 1777 and provided the means of bulk transport of goods. Coal, power and electronics dominated during the 20th century and today’s built environment continues to provide evidence of this development with the cooling towers of Rugeley power station featuring in town centre views.

CCDC is currently in the process of preparing a new Local Plan for the period 2018 to 2036 and is therefore reviewing its existing employment land evidence on the supply and demand of employment land in the District. The EDNA will therefore form a key part of the evidence base for the emerging Local Plan, identifying future growth needs across Cannock Chase within the national and local planning policy context. The EDNA follows the requirements set out in the revised National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance with regards to planning for economic development needs. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to assess the need for, and supply of, employment land. This involved analysis of economic, demographic and commercial property market data, and consultation with a range of stakeholders including commercial agents, economic development and business organisations, and a survey of local businesses. The purpose of the EDNA is to provide the Council with an understanding of the current and potential future requirements for employment land and how this aligns with current stock of B-Class employment land in the District.
