Teddesley Hay in 1859

TIDDESLEY-HAY, an extra-parochial liberty, in the E. division of the hundred of CUTTLESTONE, S. division of the county of STAFFORD, 2 miles (N.E.) from 
Penkridge; comprising about 3500 acres, and containing 61 inhabitants.

This was a royal chase, adjoining that of Cannock, till the reign of Elizabeth, who granted it jointly to the Earls of Warwick and Leicester, by whom it was sold to Sir Edward Littleton, of Pillaton Hall. There were then no other inclosures upon it than two ancient parks, and in that state it continued till recently, when it was wholly appropriated by Lord Hatherton.
