Flower Delivery to High Offley in Staffordshire with Clare Florist
The small village and civil parish of High Offley is located in Staffordshire, England. Its largest settlement, Woodseaves, includes the hamlet of Shebdon, small farms and scattered houses. All these make up for an interesting landscape made more vibrant by flowers in High Offley. There are scattered dwellings and small lanes that suggest a medieval forest in the past, and several areas of water that were created when the River Sow was dammed. The Shropshire Union Canal, a navigable canal in England, runs southwest of the villages of High Offley and Woodseaves.
Looking Back
High Offley was derived from an Anglo-Saxon name Offa and the term lea, which means wood. Offley then translates to Offa’s wood. The word High, on the other hand, is due to the village’s elevated position.
According to the Domesday Book of 1086, the parish had a manor called Offelie that was part of the lands of Robert Stafford and Urfer, his tenant. It was huge enough to support four ploughs, two of which belonged to Stafford. During this time, the population of the manor is only composed of one serf, four villeins, which refer to a tenant that holds land by providing agricultural services, and four bourdars, a small landholder who farmed the edge of the settlement.
Places of Interest
High Offley Church
Dedicated to St Mary, the High Offley Church shows Gothic tracery with neat pews made of oak. It consists of nave and aisles, chancel, west tower and south porch. For the most part, it was built with flint and stone, but changes throughout the centuries have altered its original construction. Some areas of the church have also been added as time goes by. The core of the church, for instance, dates back to the 12th century, while the rest of the church was added from the 15th to the 16th centuries. Restoration, even when limited, was done during the 19th century. Apart from a historical structure, the church also has acres of permanent grass with High Offley flowers here and there.
Royal Oak
The Royal Oak used to be a pub in High Offley, but is now converted into a private residence. It still stands on the crossroads in the village.
Anchor Inn
Located in Peggs Lane, Old Lea, the Anchor Inn is a “pub with a nationally important historic interior”. It is one of the pubs that supplied the users of the canal system. As the Shropshire Union Canal pass right in front of it, it has a front door facing the canal, instead of the road. It is a well-preserved history of High Offley, and has been in the same family since 1903. Until a left-hand bar was built in the 1960s, everyone who orders a drink must stand at the top of steps of the cellar. Among the many pubs in the village, the Anchor Inn comes highly rated by locals and the canal boating fraternity.
Cock Inn
Originally a farmhouse with a brewhouse, the Cock Inn was converted into a pub. Due to some uncertain years, it became a freehouse until it reopened in 2012, firmly establishing itself as a pub. It is now equipped with common forms of pub entertainment, such as darts. It is just a walking distance from the Shropshire Union Canal.
