Shareshill in 1851

In 1851, Shareshill had 594 inhabitants and 4,200 acres of land, including eleven farmers, two maltsters, a wheelwright, a dressmaker, two shopkeepers, three shoemakers, one butcher, two beer houses (the Horse & Jockey and The Swan), two gentlemen and a schoolmistress. Lord Hatherton was lord of the manor, although some land was also owned by Major General Henry Charles W Vernon of nearby Hilton Park Hall, and onetime High Sheriff of Staffordshire, the Rev J L Petit and Alexander Hordern, Esq. Bordering the village are two rectangular archaeological vestiges of possibly Roman encampments. In the time of Henry IV, Shareshill was the seat of Sir William de Shareshill, who was also Sheriff of the county. The church has a reputedly very ancient tower and contains several curious antique monuments.
