Warslow

Warslow is recorded as part of Alstonefield manor in the 1086 Domesday Book. In 1327, fourteen taxpayers (property owners) were assessed. The population grew in the late 18th century with the development of mining at Ecton, to a high point of 854 in 1821. Despite not having its own railway station, the village was served by the nearby Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway which served Ecton railway station, near the hamlet of Ecton.

The Grade II listed Warslow Hall, just off the B5053 north of Warslow village, was built by Sir George Crewe in 1830. The village has a single public house, The Greyhound (formerly known as The Greyhound and Hare), which dates back to around 1750. It is located roughly in the centre of the village, across the road from the fully converted chapel. There is a village hall. Both the village post office and shop are now closed.
