Background
History
Mentioned in the Domesday Book Survey of 1086, Rolleston was a settlement in the Hundred of Offlow, Staffordshire. It had recorded population of 36 households, including a priest. Rolleston was originally built around the hall, the church and the stream running through it, the Alder brook. The oldest area of the village, thought to date from the 11th century, is near the Spread Eagle Inn and Rolleston's Church, St. Mary's, together with Brookside and Burnside, although there are old houses in other parts in the village.
