Our place-name. - 'Stoulton' - is unique! It is attached to just one village, our village and to the one parish in which that village sits! Stoulton can be found in south Worcestershire between the town of Pershore and the Cathedral city of Worcester.
The story of Stoulton goes back well before the year 844 when three, small, seemingly insignificant, farming settlements, called Stoulton, Mucknell and Wolverton, were returned to the Bishop of Worcester by King Bertwulf of Mercia. Apparently the bishop had been unjustifiably deprived of them! Why?
What was was so special about these three places that this event was recorded in a King's Charter? More than a thousand years later amateur historians from today's Stoulton still search for answers to this and other questions about Stoulton's past. This website brings you all we know of its an unfinished and still evolving story.
THIS IS A 'STORIES FROM THE STONES' WEBSITE - it's for the curious, for people who wonder as they wander around the countryside and are curious to know more about what they see.
This is one of three 'Stories from the Stones' websites working to help you and your children and grandchildren to hear the stories in the stones of the places you visit?
