Stowheath
Stow Heath is an area and ancient manor in the city of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, located in the east half of the city. ==Place name and origins== The first known recording of the place name Stowheath was in c.1272 as ''Stowheth'', from Old English ''stow'' - place of assembly / holy place and ''hæth'' - level, open, uncultivated land,〔http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heath〕 so 'the heath of a place called Stow'.
An Earl Kenwulf of Stowheath was said to have fallen at the Battle of Tettenhall (910). Stowheath was one of the two main royal manors in the Wolverhampton area. It included east Wolverhampton, Bilston and part of Willenhall, and was in the direct ownership of the King. The first lord of Stowheath manor was Robert Burnell in the 13th Century, Lord Chancellor of England and Bishop of Bath and Wells.
