Overview

History & significance

Site of Old Madeley Manor is a moated site in Staffordshire that preserves evidence of a late sixteenth century house, associated gardens, and a watermill. The manor sits within a substantial moat system that represents an earlier phase of occupation, as moated homesteads were characteristic of the medieval and early post-medieval period in the region. The survival of the moat, building platforms, and ancillary features provides archaeological evidence of the domestic and economic organisation of the estate during the sixteenth century, when the manor was functioning as a substantial rural holding with facilities for both residence and milling operations.
