Background
History
Eagle House was erected to replace the old Eccleshall Poorhouse (Workhouse) and was built using construction materials from the demolished local Town Hall. The construction of Eagle House began in 1810 after permission for its construction was given by James Cornwallis, 4th Earl Cornwallis, then Bishop of Lichfield, who lived at Eccleshall Castle and owned much of the surrounding land. The first residents moved into Eccleshall's new Poor House in 1817. Reforms of the English Poor Laws meant that many of the nation's Work Houses merged and by 1840, all the former residents of Eagle House had been transferred to the workhouse in Stone, Staffordshire. records Christopher living at Eagle House,…
