From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Codsall is a town in the South Staffordshire district of Staffordshire, England. It is situated north west of the city of Wolverhampton. Which it forms part of the boundary of the Staffordshire and West Midlands County border although along with Perton it is built up around Wolverhampton.
In 1086, the Domesday Book recorded six people in Codsall. They were probably the heads of households so the population would have been a little larger. Toponymists have the name Codsall coming from the old English ‘Cod’s Halh’ – meaning a nook of land belonging to a man named Cod (Cod being an early English personal name, possibly in shortened form). The Church of St. Nicholas is the oldest building. It has a Norman doorway thought to date from the 11th century. Since medieval times, the area around the church, on the top of the hill, was the hub of the village with a windmill, village pond, forge, bakery and public house.
