| Description |
English: All that remains of a medieval manor house near Madeley, Staffordshire.
In February 1347/8 Ralph de Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford, was granted royal licence to crenelate his dwelling places of Stafford (Castle) and Madeley, in Staffs., to make castles of them. (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., vol. XII, p.175). "The standing masonry has been constructed of ashlar blocks of Red Sandstone and includes part of the springing of an external round-headed doorway with portcullis groove and chamfered arch at its north end. This fragment of standing masonry is Listed Grade II and is included in the scheduling. It is thought to be the remains of the west external wall and gateway of the original stone-built house." See listed building text [1] By 1422-3 this site was referred to as the `Old Madeley Manor' and it is thought that the house had fallen into disrepair by this date. In 1540 the manor of Madeley was sold to Thomas Offley, who became the Mayor of London in 1556, and a second house was built at the site during the late 16th or early 17th century. See listed building text. |
