🛑 Tyrley

Tyrley was a small settlement in Staffordshire, England, now lost, and a former civil parish. It was located immediately south of Market Drayton. The name means "clearing by the River Tern" It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it belonged to William Pandolf, and was the site of a castle later. Tyrley (Tirley) Castle was located alongside the present day A529. "The castle built after the conquest by the Pantulfs" is believed to date back to 1066 and later rebuilt in stone in the thirteenth-century. The castle was succeeded by a newly built Manor house in the 1280s which fell into disrepair, with an eighteenth-century farmhouse built upon the site which remains to this day.
