LICHFIELD PARISH #3: CLIFTON CAMPVILLE

Here we are again in Lichfield everyone, and this week we’re taking on the parish of Clifton Campville. Its important to note here that the parish and the village are two different things. Clifton Campville is the main settlement, but the boundaries also include Haunton, which has its own little tale to tell. In 1848 the parish included both Haunton and Harlaston, as well as the Leicestershire village of Chilcote, which back then was in Derbyshire. Boy its fun doing these ones close to county borders!

Both Clifton Campville and Haunton lie in the Mease Valley, roughly 10 miles East of Lichfield, and 7 miles north of Tamworth. Clifton’s name is easy to understand. The first part is Old English and means cliff farm, whilst Campville is a corruption of a family name - de Camvill – who held land here in the 13th century. The name has also been recorded in the past as Clistone. Haunton’s name is a little less obvious but we’ll get to that in the main walk.

Clifton is one of the biggest villages in the Mease Valley, and has grown far more in the last century than any of its near neighbours. Sitting as it does on a hill, it offers some fine view of this part of Staffordshire, most notably from the area directly behind its church. And speaking of that church, its by far one of the grandest and most historic in Staffordshire. Trust me, it will take your breath away.

Let’s go and see what it looks like shall we?
