History

[edit]

The Victoria History of the County of Stafford: Volume 8 (1965) suggests that name arises from the Britishpencet ('end or head of the wood') and the Old Englishhyll (hill). Ward (1843)[3] also mentioned the possibility of the Celtic BritishPen (head) andKyl (kiln). The idea of a 'head' or 'end' is topographically apt, since the village is sited on the elevated end of a long strip of valley-side woodland which begins at the ancient Bradwell Wood five miles to the north.

The early origins date from 2500 BC, and there have been three archaeological finds from this period. A study by the local city Council stated of Penkhull that... "it has held a settlement for over four thousand years".[4]

TheDomesday Book records it as two hides of land in theHundred of Pirehill and that it was held byEarl Algar.[5]

Penkhull was a Royal Manor from the time of William the Conqueror 1086, and the last record of its title as a Royal Manor was in 1308 under King (Edward II).

Penkhull was developed byJosiah Spode II as a dormitory suburb of Stoke-upon-Trent, the town from which the city of Stoke-on-Trent took its name.

The Church

[edit]
Church of St Thomas, Penkhull

The ecclesiastical parish was created out of the parish of Stoke in 1844[6] when the church of St. Thomas[7] was built.[8] The church is byScott and Moffatt. The Revd Thomas Webb Minton, the son of Thomas Minton and Rector of Darlington, gave the sum of £2,000 to be invested from which the interest provided an income for the Vicar. Theaisles were added in 1892 byEdward Prioleau Warren.[9] The Village Hall was built at the same time and was at that time a Church of England school for the poor.
