In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dieulacres like this:
DIEULACRES, a hamlet in Leek parish, Stafford; ½ a mile N of Leek. A Cistertian abbey was founded here, in 1214, by Blundeville, Earl of Chester; and given, by Edward VI. to the Baggenholts. The edifice is known to have been large and beautiful; but very few traces of it exist.
Dieulacres is now part of STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS District. Click here for graphs and data of how STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dieulacres itself, go to Statistics.
