Possessing many
half-timbered buildings, an Elizabethan shop
and several old coaching inns, this splendidly
evocative market town lies close to the
Staffordshire border with Derbyshire on the
River Tean. It is famously associated with the
father of Lichfield’s Samuel Johnson who ran a
bookstall on the local market. In modern times
it has become noted for his racecourse, which
stages the annual Midlands Grand National.
Bagot’s Wood
lies nearby and some miles away is the 17th
century mansion Sudbury Hall - built by George
Vernon – which has an unusually ornate
staircase and a Long Gallery.
