History

Bronze Age

A folded strip of decorated Bronze Age gold was found by metal detecting on land in Whitmore.[1]

From Minutes for Treasure Valuation Committee Meeting – 15th November 2017 - The meeting was held in the Hartwell Room at the British Museum on Tuesday, 15th October

From Item 2: OBJECTS Bronze Age
5. 2016 T1039 Bronze Age gold strip from Whitmore, Staffordshire (WMID-FE3C28)
The provisional valuer suggested £250-300. The Committee inspected the strip in light of this and taking account of its damaged condition, in agreement with the lower end of the valuer’s suggested range, recommended £250. Potteries Museum & Art Gallery hopes to acquire.[2]

Domesday Book 1086

The Domesday Book was a survey of England in 1086 answering the questions: How many hundreds of hides were in the shire, what land belonged to the king himself and what stock upon the land? What dues did the king have by the year from the shire?[3] Whitmore is the second entry of Staffordshire page 10. The tenant in chief was Richard the forester. A Hide (hida) was a Measurement of land for tax assessment used - Approximately 120 acres, depending on local variations in the acre. [4]

  • Hundred: Pirehill
  • County: Staffordshire
  • Total population: 5 households (very small).
  • Total tax assessed: 0.5 geld units (very small). Geldum Periodic tax, first raised for the Danish wars, at a number of pence per hide, carucate or sulung.
  • Taxable units: Taxable value 0.5 geld units.
  • Value: Value to lord in 1086 £0.5. (unfortunately measuring worth does not go back so far to put this in present day values)
  • Households: 3 villagers. 2 smallholders.
  • Ploughland: 3 ploughlands (land for). 1 lord’s plough teams. 1 men’s plough teams.
  • Other resources: Meadow 1 acres. Woodland 1 * 0.5 leagues.
  • Lord in 1066: Ulfac or alternatively spelt Wulfheah.
  • Lord in 1086: Nigel (of Stafford). Nigel (Stafford) de Stafford (bef.1065-bef.1124)
  • Tenant-in-chief in 1086: Richard the forester.
  • Phillimore reference: 13,2 [5]

The name Richard the forester, the tenant in chief was associated with no places before the Conquest and 21 after the Conquest. There may have been more than one man who bore that title but all the places associated with the name are either in Staffordshire or neighbouring Warwickshire.

1212 Great Inquest of Service

In 1212 during the reign of King John there was a Great Inquest of Service. Randolph de Knutton held Whitmore with other land and paid £4. 11s. 6d. of “antient right”, that is, from the Conquest of England. It is thought that Ralph de Knutton was the lineal heir or co-heir of Richard the forester.

If you want to compare the value of a £4 11s 6d Income or Wealth , in 1270 there are four choices. In 2020 the relative:

  • real wage or real wealth value of that income or wealth is £4,475.00
  • labour earnings of that income or wealth is £78,540.00
  • relative income value of that income or wealth is £152,200.00
  • relative output value of that income or wealth is £1,849,000.00[6]

1539 Muster roll

In 1538, the Emperor Charles V and Francis, the King of France, had made up their differences, and had agreed to a ten years' truce. In the same year, the Pope, Paul IV, had published a Bull excommunicating Henry VIII and deposing him for his heretical opinions, and was endeavouring to induce the two sovereigns above named to put it into execution. The King and his Privy Council were seriously alarmed and ordered a muster to be made of the entire armed force of the kingdom. The levies were never called up, the King, by his diplomacy, having managed to disconcert the project of the Pope.

Letters Patent appointing Commissioners of Array for each County were issued on the 1st March, 30 H. VIII (1539).

Heraldic Visitations

Beginning about 1530, and continuing into the late 1600s, heralds visited regions throughout Britain, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland for the purpose of establishing pedigrees and ancestry relationships. Many of those regions were visited more than once over a period of years.

This project of gathering pedigrees began because of rampant misuse of coats of arms and false declarations of nobility. As the heralds visited each region, they summoned people who were using titles, or arms, and had them present their arms and proof of their right to use them. If an official grant of arms was made, it was recorded.

The visitation series includes a narrative description of each family, as well as a pedigree chart. Branches of large families were labeled by region, and relationships were clearly defined. Birth and death dates were not usually given. The visitations are not infallible; the documents presented may not have been accurate, and the heralds may have recorded details incorrectly.

Whitmore was visited in 1583 at the time of Edward Mainwaring (bef.1516-1586).[7]

Whitmore Hearth Tax 1666

The Hearth Tax or chimney-money was a payment to the king of 2s. on every hearth " in all houses paying to church and poor," first levied in 1662. It was repealed in 1689, although it was producing £170,000 a year, on account of its unpopularity, the tax being especially obnoxious because of its inquisitorial character.

There were 28 households charged in Whitmore in 1666: one each of 19, 5, and 4 hearths, two households with 3 hearths, 10 households with 2 hearths, 13 households with a single hearth.

from A Topographical History of Staffordshire by William Pitt (1817)

Whitmore is a parish in the hundred of Pirehill North. It was anciently called Witemore; and in the Conqueror's Survey the following description occurs :

" The same R, (Richard Forester) holds Witemore (of the king) and Nigel of him. Ulfac held it and was a free man. It contains half a hide. The arable land is three carucates, one is in demesne, and three villains, and two bordars hold one carucate. There is one acre of meadow. A wood a mile in length and half-a-mile in breadth. The whole is worth 10 shillings."

The village of Whitmore is situate on the public road from Newcastle to Market-Drayton, about four miles from the former place.

The population in 1811 was 43 families, containing in all 291 persons, whereof 156 were males, and 135 females ; 35 families were employed in agriculture, six in trade, and two were of neither description. The number of houses was 44.

The Church is situate in the village, and was, we apprehend, rebuilt in 1632, as that date appears on a stone over the west door. It is a small stone building of an oblong form, with a half-timber turret on the west end, containing three bells, and is capable of holding about 150 persons. The turret probably exhibits a specimen of the kind of walls erected in the ancient churches prior to the use of stone.

A few monuments are in the Church to the memory of some of the respectable family of Mainwaring, which has been seated at Whitmore for several generations. On the north side of the Church appears a neat walk flanked with rows of trees, forming a beautiful avenue, which is terminated by Whitmore-hall, the seat of Edward Mainwaring, Esq. and which, judging from a date over the front door, was built or rebuilt in 1676.

The Living till of late was a chapel of ease to Stoke-upon-Trent. It is now a rectory endowed with all the great and small tithes in the parish, surplice-fees, and between 30 and 40 acres of glebe ; part of which lies near Burslem, and part near Newcastle; but the bulk is situated in and near Whitmore. The reputed value is about £400 a year. The Rev. J. S. Brasier, is Rector, and Edward Mainwaring, Esq. Patron. (John Isaac Brasier (abt.1782-1848) )

It is not known to what Saint the Church is dedicated, as no Wake has been kept for a number of years at Whitmore ; nor do the bells determine the point one of them is inscribed in Latin, " St. John," and another ' All Saints"

Benefactions to the Poor, inscribed on a tablet on the north wall in the Church :

" Mr. Joseph Ball, late of this town, left to the poor of the parish of Whitmore, two pieces of land (fifty pounds purchase) the one called Ball's Meadow adjoining to the Town Meadow, and a Meadow belonging to Master John Eardley. The other call'd Holliegrieve [grove-croft] lying between lands belonging to Mr. John Knight and Mr. John Walton.

" Another charitable person left the interest of twenty pounds for ever to the poor of the said parish, in the trust of the Churchwarden and Overseer.

Mr. MIDDLETON, Minister, SAML. LATHAM, Churchwarden, Jos. HILDICH, Overseer, Ann. Dom. 1736."

It is conjectured that this last donation was left by one or more of the name of Cleyton, as will be hereafter noticed, and that the first benefactor might be a descendant of the Rev. John Ball, formerly minister of this Church, respecting whom a few memoirs, abstracted from an old printed book, are here subjoined, not out of respect to some acts of non-conformity there recorded, for such a sincere Churchman must regret, but for reasons stated in the conclusion, and because he appears to have been an honest man, generally respected, and an active, pious minister, much revered in his parish and neighbourhood.

JOHN BALL, called in scorn " the Presbyterians' Champion' was minister at Whitmore, near Newcastle, Staffordshire, from about the year 1610 to the time of his death, Oct. 20, 1639. He was born about the year 1585 at Cassington, an obscure village, a mile from Hanborough, in Oxfordshire, and educated at Yarnton school ; from whence he was removed to Brazen-nose College, Oxford, where he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts. His parents being of low estate, he was kept at school through the partiality of his master, who admired his pupil's abilities ; and was supported at College chiefly by the aid of friends. After he left the University, he was engaged as tutor to the children of Lady Cholmley, at her house in Cheshire, where he also taught other children.[9]

from History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851

Whitmore is a neat rural village, in a deep romantic valley, four and a half miles SSW of Newcastle-under-Lyme, comprising within its parish 367 inhabitants, and about 3350 acres of land. It has now a post office, and a first class railway station on the Grand Junction portion of the London & North Western Railway, since the opening of which the village has been much improved. Captain Rowland Mainwaring, RN, owns most of the parish, and is lord of the manor. He resides at Whitmore Hall, a handsome mansion standing in a well-wooded park.

The Church, St Mary & All Saints, is a small ancient edifice, with a half-timbered turret, and was a chapel of ease to Stoke-upon-Trent until 1807. The benefice is a rectory in the patronage of Captain Rowland Mainwaring, and the Rev CH Mainwaring, BA, is the incumbent[10]

from The Topographical Dictionary of England (1859) by Samuel Lewis

WHITMORE, a parish, in the union of NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME, N. division of the hundred of PIREHILL and of the county of STAFFORD, 4 miles (S.W.) from Newcastle; containing 367 inhabitants. The parish is on the road from Newcastle to Market-Drayton, and comprises 1986a.3r.5p., whereof 250 acres are common or waste, an act for inclosing which was passed in 1841.

The Grand Junction railway has one of its principal stations here, where it attains its summit level; the buildings extend 300 feet in length. The village is beautifully situated, and the cottages are kept in neat order, and ornamented with roses and woodbine: Whitmore Hall, with the grounds attached to it, is one of the pleasantest seats in this part of the county.

The living is a rectory not in charge, in the gift of Captain Mainwaring: the tithes have been commuted for £280, and the glebe comprises 29 acres. The church is a handsome structure in the later English style. [11]


from Kelly's Directory of Staffordshire (1896)

WHITMORE is a pleasant village and parish, delightfully situated in a valley, on the road from Newcastle to Market Drayton, with a station about a mile distant on the Trent Valley section of the London and North Western railway, 4 ½ miles south-south-west from Newcastle-under-Lyme and 147 ½ from London, in the North Western division of the county, Pirehill North hundred and petty sessional division, Newcastle union and county court district, rural deanery of Trenthem, archdeaconry of Stoke-on-Trent and diocese of Lichfield. The river Sowe runs through the village and falls into the Trent at Shuckborough. The church of St. Mary and All Saints (formerly a chapel of ease to Trenthem) is a small edifice of stone, consisting of chancel, nave, west porch and a western turret containing 3 bells: at the north end is the family vault of the Mainwarings, and there is an altar-tomb with incised effigies to Edward Mainwaring and Alice (Boghey) his wife, dated 1580: a carved oak pulpit, dedicated to the memory of the Rev. C. H. Mainwaring and Jane his wife, was presented by his son, the present rector, in 1886: the church was restored in 1880, at a cost of £2,200, and affords 160 sittings. The register dates from the year 1558. The living is a rectory, average tithe rent-charge £218, net yearly value £317, with 27 acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of Mrs. C. Mainwaring, and held since 1885 by the Rev. Percy Edward Mainwaring M.A. of Pembroke College, Oxford. In 1691 Mr. Joseph Ball left 2a. 2r. 34p. of land, called Ball's Meadow and Hollygreave croft, now let for £6 a year, for the poor of this parish. An extensive ground for the sale of cattle adjoins the Mainwaring Arms hotel; sales, now conducted for 25 years by Charles Beech and Son, take place fortnightly on Mondays. Whitmore Hall, in a romantic valley, just below the church and village, is a brick mansion, standing in a large park with a splendid avenue of trees: it was greatly injured by fire in August, 1880, and is now in the occupation of Michael Daintry Hollins esq. D.L., J.P., M.R.C.S.Eng. Mrs. C. Mainwaring, who is lady of the manor, and Ralph Sneyd esq. J.P. of Keele Hall, are the principal landowners. The soil is in parts light, in others stiff clay; subsoil, gravel and sandstone. The chief crops are wheat, oats and barley. The area is 2,004 acres of land and 11 of water; rateable value, £4,434; the population in 1891 was 318.

National School (mixed), rebuilt in 1871, for 50 children; average attendance, 42.[12]
