This well researched book provides a fascinating insight into the origins and history of the Workhouse in the village, which stood in what these days is known as School Road.
There's no longer any trace of the institution, dating originally from the mid-18th Century, but those who are old enough can remember the building still surviving until around the late 1950s.
Something of an overview of the history of the Parish is also included together with the historic development of workhouses institutionally nationally. Copies of the book are available direct from the author by sending a cheque for
£5 (includes postage) to Sam Whitehouse, 10 Church Street, Chasetown, Burntwood, Staffordshire, WS7 3QL.
