Woolley Moor
The small village of Wooley Moor was formed on the old packhorse route and dates back to medieval times. The oldest building in the village has been dated at 1590, a date carved in the stonework of Handleys Fields Farm. The nearby Ogston Reservoir changed the nature of the village in 1960 taking over much of the farmland. The lake is now used by dinghy sailors and has a wide variety of bird life. South Wingfield Manor is also nearby. This was built by Ralph Cromwell around 1440 and was later the favorite residence of the Shrewsburys. The 6th Earl of Shrewsbury was married to Bess of Hardwick. The manor was destroyed during the Civil War by Oliver Cromwell's troops by cannon fire. |
