Madeley Old Manor
Madeley Old Manor was a medieval manor house at Madeley, Staffordshire. It is now a ruin, with only fragments of its walls remaining. The remnants have Grade II listed building status and the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.〔( English Heritage: photograph and architectural description of listed building )〕
The manor was sold in 1547 by Sir Francis Poyntz to Thomas Offley (d. 1582), a wool and cloth merchant, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1556. Five generations of Offleys lived at the manor including three John Offleys who served as High Sheriff of Staffordshire.〔( History of Madeley village )〕 Thomas Offley's son, Henry, married Mary, the daughter of Sir Thomas White, Lord Mayor of London,〔The Genealogist, vol. 19, 1903, pg 218〕 and several of their children married into notable families: William married Frances, daughter of John Lane of Bentley;〔The Life of Thomas Fuller: With notices of his books, his kinsmen, and his friends, John Eglington Bailey, 1874, pg 12〕 Elizabeth married Sir Robert Jenney, son of Sir Arthur Jenney of Knodishall, Suffolk;〔Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, 1847, pg 648〕 and Katherine married firstly Thomas, son of Thomas Willis, and secondly his cousin, William Willis.〔The Heraldic Visitations of Staffordshire, Sir Richard St George and Sir William Dugdale, 1885, pg 226〕
Thomas Offley's great-great-grandson John Offley (b. 1649) married Anne Crewe, heiress of Crewe Hall, Cheshire. Their son, John Offley, changed his name by a 1708 Act of Parliament to John Offley Crewe when he inherited his mother's estate.〔(Deed Poll Office: Private Act of Parliament 1708 (7 Ann.). c. 3 )〕 Their grandson John Crewe (1742–1829) later became 1st Baron Crewe.〔( The Peerage website )〕
Madeley Manor was abandoned and fell into ruin following the building of the second Madeley Manor (O.S. Map Reference SJ 7759 4591).The family eventually made Crewe Hall their principal seat.
