From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agardsely was the original name for Newborough. In the Domesday Book, it is recorded as Edgareslege, meaning ‘Eadger’s leah’ or ‘Eadger’s clearing in the woodland’. It was not until 1263 that the village was renamed to Newborough, after the 6th Earl of Derby, Robert de Ferrers, created a new borough.
The civil parish of Newborough was established in 1866, after previously being part of the Hanbury parish district. According to William White, who wrote about Hanbury as part of the History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire in 1851, the parish extended to “upwards of five miles square, and including the north end of Needwood Forest, and ten villages and hamlets, divided into five townships, viz, Hanbury, Newborough, Marchington, Marchington-Woodlands, and Draycott-in-the-Clay”, while it also included “2483 inhabitants, and about 13,600 acres of land”.
