Description

The Allcroft Family From Worcester to Stokesay This book tells the story of the Allcroft family, tracing their rise from humble beginnings in late 18th-century Worcester to their dominance of south Shropshire. The family's fortunes were built on the success of their glover business, Dent, Allcroft & Co., before John Derby Allcroft purchased the historic Stokesay Castle and established the Stokesay Court Estate. The Allcroft family's history is marked by significant changes and developments, including the creation of a new family home in rural Onibury. The story of the family's later generations, including Lady Jewell Magnus-Allcroft, is also explored in detail. Through its narrative, this book provides a unique insight into the lives of the Allcroft family and their place in the history of south Shropshire.
