My sister Pat and I lived first in Sutherland Road then Monument Lane. We went to Granville Secondary Modern in Stone. I loved growing up in Tittensor as it was a lovely village, my best mate was Sandra Wagg. My maiden name was Powell. It would be nice to hear from anyone who lived there.

I remember the days when I lived on a farm that was owned by Mark Carter from Eccleshall Castle. I had so much fun living in Eccleshall that I didn't want to move when the farm was sold. I had loads of friends and good memories, I remember when all the children were given a Silver Jubilee coin at school, the... [more]

Staffordshire Photographic Memories
The view from the roof of Bent's Brewery. In the 12th century there was an Augustinian priory in the village. Suppressed during the Dissolution, the monastic church, which was also the parish church, survived. Of the priory, however, little remained even in 1900, save for the remains of the cloisters and a stone arch.

This shows the view from the roof of Bent's Brewery. In the 12th century there was an Augustinian priory in the village. Suppressed during the Dissolution, the monastic church, which was also the parish church, survived. Of the priory, however, little remained even in 1900 when this photograph was taken, save for the remains of the cloisters and a stone arch.

The Manor of Stone was not mentioned in the Domesday Book, though it was given by William the Conqueror to one Erasmus de Walton. His family held it until the reign of Henry I. Later, the manor became forfeit to the Crown, because Enysan de Walton killed two nuns and a priest.
